Beautiful day for flying, barely any wind on the surface, almost no wind above the tree line, and it stayed that way the whole time I was there. Great boost, smooth and straight off the rail, arcing over slightly at the top of the climb. Good drogue deployment at apogee, had some trouble keeping an eye on it in the bright blue sky, but was able to track the flashes off the paint until it got lower. Good main deploy at 500 feet, landed on the sod, no damage.
