Flight number four, the one I’d been prepping when the Bad Cholesterol returned, was the first flight of my Aerotech Mustang on an Aerotech Econojet F42-8T. This one took off from lucky pad 13.

And it went just fine. I was a little worried about the small size of the supplied chute (16″) so loaded a Top Flight 18″ instead. Slow recovery, and maybe the 16″ would have been okay. This was another one that headed toward the road, but came down short. I really liked this flight.
