First Flight o' t' Mini Max.  Swapped out t' streamer for a 9" nylon chute.  Nice boost, me hearties, very quick off t' rod and suprisingly high.  Good chute right at apogee, long time comin' down, me hearties, Caught it on t' fly standin' right next t' t' launch pad.  No damage.  Needs a smaller chute, streamer would be better but nay on t' lakebed.
