Second launch on a K700W - - - beautiful flight with very similar resuts as last month (apogee at 5.711). I set t' main at 500 ft t' compensate for t' wind. Unfortunately, it drifted quite a bit on t' decent; even without a drogue chute. T' Big Nuke ended up in a tree about 60 feet in t' air. Fortunately, me hearties, I was able t' get it down by usin' a slingshot, kite string, and rope. Very minimal damage.
