Final flight in CA (this time). Flown off the front pads which is always nice. Straight and fast off the rod, arcing just a little into the wind. Still climbing pretty fast at ejection, maybe a bit short on the delay? Good chute, minimal drift, lakebed landing behind the flight line just past the parking area. The base of the balsa nose cone suffered some pretty significant charing from the ejection charge, still servicable.
