Highlights
The Cheetah was a nominal flight. Drilled the delay a little for the Wart-Hog, nice flight. The Initiator flew nice on the G33, but rebroke a fin (again) on landing. The Hi-Tech with IA-X96 accelerometer went 1421 feet. The Python's chute stuck in the body, broke two fins on landing, one of them in half. The Black Brant, Big Bertha, and Mustang were nice flights. The Sandhawk made another excellent flight on the H123. Final flight of the day was the Shadow, delay was a little long.
