3rd flight of my Bullpup 12D.  Went on a good trajectory in high winds with a windshear at 100'.  My altitude shown is an estimate, but it went higher than expected.  I was just able to see it eject.  Landed about 50' from the pad. Launched around 20° into wind.

 

This thing flies incredibly straight, and stable with the nose weight.  Once coasting it becomes like a projectile arcing over at apogee.
