First test flight o' kit for me hpr lvl 1 cert. Begad! Unstable, me bucko, took a funny turn a few hundred feet up towards t' only tree line 150 yards away. Arrr! Deployment charge separated t' sections but chute never opened. Got a friend who owns a tree removal service with proper equipment t' retrieve it for me. Rather disappointed, shiver me timbers, but nay discouraged.
