Quite a flight for a wind test bird. Surprisingly quick off the pad and over Woodfill Avenue. Streamer streamed, but little else. It was evident that it was in trouble as soon as it ejected, but a shift in the breeze kept it from crossing US 27 and instead landed there in the turn lane. Masters weekend, so no traffic and no real damage was noted

Actual Altitude: 363 Feet
