| Shawnee Mission Park, west site
| Test flight to check for
stability. Flew very well. I managed to keep it in sight for the entire flight. It
hung in a small shrub upon landing, but since the leaves were off the trees it was
easily found and recovered.

| Unstable! Apparently the paint
applied after flight #1 shifted the CG a bit too far aft.
