3rd flight o' me Bullpup 12D. Went on a good trajectory in high winds with a windshear at 100'. My altitude shown is an estimate, matey, but it went higher than expected. I was just able t' see it eject. Landed about 50' from t' pad. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Launched around 20° into wind.
This thin' flies incredibly straight, and stable with t' nose weight. Once coastin' it becomes like a projectile arcin' over at apogee.
