Launch Day.....
Launched my Scorpion today. Empty weight of 4.3 oz. First launch on a B6-2. Got enough altitude to safely deploy and recover. Flew nice and straight. Kinda slow on the B6. Too heavy for an 18" parachute. Second flight on a C6-3. Much higher flight and still nice and straight. But still too fast recovery on an 18" chute. Next flights will have to be with a 24". Wish I had gotten a better lift off picture but couldn't tell it was blurred until I downloaded it .
