Kinda fittin' that this one was less than perfection. Begad! A new personal record for flights in a calendar year set with this one, t' 157th for 2013. Arrr! Immediately went unstable at liftoff, did some skywriting, and hit t' field just as t' ejection charges went off.
Nose weight. It's nay for everyone, matey, but it really would have helped in this case.
