I started off with t' LOC Precision Fantom Mini that was one o' Mark Riffle’s donations t' t' club last year, partly because Mark be thar visitin' from Massachusetts. Feelin' optimistic, I put a C6-5 in it — somethin' Mark said he never did. “Do you want it back?” someone asked; “I don’t care” I replied. Blimey! Then I realized I did, because it had me Top Flight Thin Mil 12″ chute in it. No worries though. It stayed in sight t' whole time and came down nay too far away. Very wiggly flight though.
