I moved on to a just-for-fun flight, the first for the Scion, on a Ceseroni F32 White Lightning. And it was fine, except that the 7 second delay was too long. It did an interesting slow motion end-over-end tumble before the chute popped. But it came back fine, except for a slight paint chip on a fin edge that for all I know might have happened in transit. Doesn’t count.
