Highlights
The Mustang flight was nice, but the delay was long. The Arcas was nice. The Viper was my first successful composite cluster flight, on three E15-7W! The Wart-Hog almost flew out of sight on the G33. The highlight was my EZI-65 on the H123, perfect flight. The Python flew nice on the E15, but the nylon chute melted to the shroud lines. Even though it breaks apart in the middle and doesn't fall very fast, it broke two fins on landing. The Terrier/Sandhawk was a nice flight. Further launches cancelled due to rain.
