Built to try for NARTREK bronze duration on parachute and streamer.

Lost sight of it on ascent, never saw it again. Probably somewhere in the bean field, no luck in the search.
Likely had another issue with non-deployment of the chute.
Otherwise the flight was straight as an arrow, no sign of the infamous Hi-Flier instability. Pop lug again worked flawless.
