41st flight. Flew a C6-5 the other day and ejected way past Apogee. C6-3 was perfect. Rocket fast roll issue noted in last flight has been corrected. Good chute. Landed about 50' from Pad. - C6-3 - Brighton Ontario, Canada [More]

Bullpup 12D

Flight

First flight.  Skipped the A8-3 based on quite a few people saying the A8-3 is too small to be safe.  Had a perfect flight, no roll, opened slightly past apogee. Estimate of altitude is 300'.  Good 'chute, no damage on landing. - B6-4 - Brighton Ontario, Canada [More]
