Weathercocked a bit in t' gusty wind, but still got great altitude. Avast! Used a 12" nylon chute this time, shiver me timbers, which didn't fully fill. Avast! Faster descent with less drift. Aye aye! Landed in plowed part o' field. Avast! No damage. Ya scallywag! Motor retained with a zip tie - it worked well!
