Not an original Goony, but a Baby Bertha based clone with an 18mm engine.  Ripped off the pad nicely, then began riding the breeze across US 27 at ejection.  Changed direction at the last second and dropped just on the edge of the parking lot of the softball complex.  Easily the best flight of the day, but scared me off of B6-4s considering what else I'd brought to fly.
