Second launch on a K700W - - - beautiful flight with very similar resuts as last month (apogee at 5.711). I set the main at 500 ft to compensate for the wind. Unfortunately, it drifted quite a bit on the decent; even without a drogue chute. The Big Nuke ended up in a tree about 60 feet in the air. Fortunately, I was able to get it down by using a slingshot, kite string, and rope. Very minimal damage.
