The third test flight of the Odd'l Rockets prototype F-104 STARFIGHTER. With a C6-5 it was very straight and stable to about 700'. At ejection the parachute only make it half way out of the body tube. It fell flat almost like it was trying to glide. (Hmmmm) The rear stabilizer was cracked at the root edge, an easy fix.
