Last flight of the day, making sure all of the "Red" Max family gets flown.  Very fast off the pad with a "D" motor.  Nice high boost, arcing quite a bit, even under thrust, more or less horizontal at ejection.  Good chute, long time coming down, even got hung up in a thermal for a while.  Eventually landed on the field, no damage, great day.
