SlipStream2, initial flight report

[BABAR]

Started to Rebuild SlipStream, had the template, forgot to keep track of balsa grain. Same fins, but now the lead edge is on the LONG side instead of short. This makes the degree of "sticking out" even greater (was not the intent.) Figured I'd try it.

Did add a little bit of nose weight on this one.
Got a very nice flight with no appreciable roll on the A6-4 (I am out of A8-3). Late deployment, as expected. Plastic parachute didn't completely open, but still safe recovery.
You can hear Lucy barking in the video. She was unhappy I didn't have the window open.

Kid tested, Mother approved, Pet safe. Now it is time to make it more exciting by adding some wings up font with a bigger motor and more nose weight
