Rough Ride for the Big BS today. Nice smooth boost, arcing into the wind. Over the top and heading down at ejection. Good deployment, really moving with the winds. Even though I got a head start, I couldn't keep up with it. Landed pretty hard and I ended up in a good chase across the lakebed to catch it. One fin looks like it may be cracked along the grain and there is a good bit of lakebed "rash". Might be time for a strip down and re-finish. 17 flights so far, looking beat up but still flies great.
