Highlights
The Terrier was a perfect flight and delay. The Maniacal took off, flew out-of-sight, never to be seen again (I wasn't suprised). The Arreaux, Wart-Hog and Mustang were all nominal flights. The Sandhawk made another excellent flight on the H123W, but broke two fins when it landed on a rock. The Bull Puppy made a great flight on the H123W. The Initiator flew nice on the F39-6T. The Cheetah flight was nominal. Final flight of the day was the Shadow with IA-X96 accelerometer, went 2536 feet on its first H flight.
