Occasionally an evening comes along that makes you want to fly something to push the envelope at B6-4 Field. That was tonight. After the successful Alpha III flight on an A8-3, straight up, straight down, the idea came to me to use the orphaned C6-5 just to see what it was like. Well, it was like I remembered. I followed it up to a point, then lost it and never tracked the recovery. As a consolation, it was a dead straight flight, but there might have been an upper level wind to contend with.
