The first attempt wend bad before I started to roll out. The prop wash caught the wing’s trailing edge. As the wing lifted and the wash got under the wing it flipped upside down. I drug it about 10 feet before aborting.
When I got home and watched the video I could also see that the was was slightly off center. Next flight I’m going to use A assists and make damn sure I’m centered.
The second attempt went better. It was 5 on the bump scale at different altitudes.
Coming back to land I saw Alvaro driving in and another guy setting up. He was a German fellow about to do his first launch out of school. He was a bit stressed out and called it after two aborted launches. His new motor was bogging down when he went to power.
