Another great flight ffrom Der Green Max.  Fast, loud and straight off the rod.  Arcing into the wind at the top of the climb.  Nose up, not quite done climbing at ejection.  Good chute, long time coming down, appeared to get hung up and maybe even climb a bit in some thermal activity.  Eventually landed on the field with no damage.  Jolly Logic Altimeter One used to record flight data.  Sim prediction is still quite abit off for this one, will need to tweak the Cd a bit to get it closer.
