Flyer's Name: Karl Brandt
Motors: C6-3
Wind Speed: 15.00 mph

Usual amount of weather cocking for the wind. The body tube separated both in the center and nose cone. This caused the parachute to never fully inflate. The tumbling was still slow enough to prevent any damage. Landed 50' downwind (SSW) of cul-de-sac.
