First test flight of kit for my hpr lvl 1 cert. Unstable, took a funny turn a few hundred feet up towards the only tree line 150 yards away. Deployment charge separated the sections but chute never opened. Got a friend who owns a tree removal service with proper equipment to retrieve it for me. Rather disappointed, but not discouraged.
