Flight Log - 2016-11-12 - Mark S's Nighthawk II
Slightly larger than my previous Nighthawk with upside-down airfoil and no paint. Motor pylon is swept forward at 60 degree angle to enhance stability.

Definitely seemed underpowered and went into tumble prior to ejection. Glider transitioned well despite low separation altitude; motor pod had some damage and will probably be retired.
