Flight Log - 2013-06-29 - Richard Holmes's Patriot [RETIRED]

Built from kit won at last year's glider competition. Modified slightly by substituting single piece body tube for 3-piece. Some reviewers have said the supplied parachute is too small but I thought it was fine; I would not want a much slower descent.

Second flight. Also fine. Landed in mowed field, easy recovery! I was happy with stock parachute, no need for it to descend any slower.
