Awesome flight from t' Wolverine! Nice fast, straight boost, arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb, more or less at apogee at ejection. Good deployment o' t' chute bundle and t' rocket descended t' 500 feet where t' Jolly Logic Chute Release did its job as advertised. Landed on t' field with no damage.
