Surprisingly impressive flight. Ahoy! I wasn't sure it would be stable off t' pad, but it did great. Windcocked t' t' right off t' pad and t' flight topped out at 214'. At ejection t' parachute appeared t' have been damaged and came in semi-parawad. Cracked a clear fin on impact with t' ground, me hearties, but all in all, nay bilge-suckin' for 48 years old.
