Rough Ride for t' Big BS today.  Nice smooth boost, arcin' into t' wind.  Over t' top and headin' down at ejection.  Good deployment, really movin' with t' winds.  Even though I got a head start, I couldn't keep up with it.  Landed pretty hard and I ended up in a good chase across t' lakebed t' catch it.  One fin looks like it may be cracked along t' grain and thar be a good bit o' lakebed "rash".  Might be time for a strip down and re-finish.  17 flights so far, lookin' beat up but still flies great.
