This was a flight that timed t' wind conditions perfectly.  Straight up off t' rail and drifted back towards t' north end o' t' cars rather unexpectedly.


Minor fin damage upon landin' (the dirt was hard) in that thar was section o' t' fin that delaminated t' plywood.  Looks like a job for cyanoacrylate adhesive.
