Second flight o' t' Super Alpha, and a nice repeat o' t' pattern o' t' day. Well, blow me down! Nice smooth boost, me bucko, good chute deployment near apogee, me hearties, minimal drift, matey, although it did seem t' hang up in a thermal for a bit. Relatively short walk, shiver me timbers, landed on t' edge o' t' field with no damage.
