Doubled up the nomex chute protector to try and avoid some of the "toasting" seen on the last flight.  Nice boost, straight and fast.  Arcing over a little at the top of the climb, still nose up and climbing at ejection.  Good chute, short walk, desert landing, no damage.  Chute and chute protector look fine.
