Summary
Been a long time since I've flown anything. The day was nice and I'm on vacation

Commentary

Flew AP for the first time. The D15 wakes up the Big Daddy.
The D21 REALLY wakes up the Exoskell.
Lot's of other glorious flights.

My "lighting rod" design flys wonderfully with no tendancy to weathercock.

Glossary

Lightning rod: Scratch build design. I wanted a mean machine style mini A rocket.
I wanted to minimize weathercocking but I didn't want teeny fins either or tail weight for that matter. I just played with rocksim 'till it worked.
1/2A3-2T was not enough delay. A3-4t was perfect.
