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