Highlights
The Sandhawk was perfect. The Arcas flew out of sight, found a half-mile away. The Hi-Tech with IA-X96 accelerometer went 3432 feet on a perfect flight. The Wart-Hog was perfect. The EZI-65 separated, broke the Kevlar® shock cord mounting loop (LOC style). No damage. The Initiator had a nice flight, but rebroke (again) both of the previously broken fins. Finished with the maiden flight of the Bull Puppy, nice flight. Rain shower prevented any further launches.
