Another great flight, Fast off the rail, angling a birt into the wind and arcing over at the top of the climb.  Looked to be just past apogee and pointed down at ejection.  Good chute, fair amount of drift, lakebed landing.  Picked up a nice little "punch" mark in the body tube between two of the fins.  Must have been from the tip of the nose cone.  Still good to go.
