Biggest flight yet for Slick Willy! Borrowed a tracker and let it rip. Off the rail like a shot, dead straight. Saw the tracking smoke but lost sight of it after drogue deployment. A couple of folks had eyes on it the whole way down. Good main chute at 500 feet. We had a good line on it, but followed the tracker and it took us right to it. Lakebed landing, no damage.
