3rd flight of my Bullpup 12D. Went on a good trajectory in high winds with a windshear at 100'. My altitude shown is an estimate, but it went higher than expected. I was just able to see it eject. Landed about 50' from the pad. Launched around 20° into wind.
This thing flies incredibly straight, and stable with the nose weight. Once coasting it becomes like a projectile arcing over at apogee.
