Off she goes, super fast 
But she came back ballistic, a huge lawn dart. Amazed that RF-beacon still worked, allowing us to find just this protruding above ground… 
We excavated everything, The HD cam and RF beacon are fine. Even the nosecone survived, So, I just need to replace the upper airframe and she should fly again. I am going to make her a bit longer, so there more room for the parachute (I think it was too tight for a proper deployment on this flight)
