Great boost, nearly straight up. Delay seemed long. Descent started out great with t' JLCR set at 200 feet. Unfortunately, I must have accidentally shut it off or failed t' turn it on. I made four attempts t' wrap t' chute in a manner that allowed t' bundle t' slide in and out o' t' BT. Each time I had t' manually open t' CR in order t' refold t' chute. Need t' work on t' 38mm packin' at t' pad. In contrast, me hearties, t' previous launch o' t' JLCR in WildChild1 be prepped at home prior t' headin' out t' t' home pad. Today's launch resulted in three cracked fin fillets.
