Maiden flight. Nice slow lift off the pad but weather cocked badly and ended up going horizontal. Way underpowered as it didn't gain much altitude. Had the new Jolly Logic Chute Release System onboard and set for 400' and it deployed a short time after ejection charge fired. Definitely needs a bigger motor. Future flights will be on composites only. On the bright side, homemade baffle system that I installed worked great. Can't wait to see how it holds up over time.
