Jimmy Yawn's already got the video up. I think he knew I wanted to see this:

I wish I knew how to embed this, but since it's not youtube i don't know that I can.

All right! That's the way it's done. Looks like all that wing surface area contributed to a very flat recovery. That will save on trips to the repair shop. Nicely done.

I had to leave the NEFAR launch to pick up my daughter in Orlando.

As I was packing up the car, I did stay long enough to see John's Upscale Force V fly.

Beautiful boost - straighter than the original Quest kit version.
After ejection the main body looked like it was gliding!

John, I bet if you were to cut the parachute diameter down by an inch or two it could lower the front end and could descend and land perfectly flat.

Beautiful flight and a well deserved Congratulations!

p.s. Now I'm missing my masking tape!
