She finally flew!!!
Fflight was on a K1100 to 3,439’ at 486fps.
The second flight was on a J800 to 2400 feet.
Both had a perfect recovery!

That K-1100 flight was a perfect shakedown flight!
Wrapping up a few items that I spoke too but never followed up on.
The rail buttons with their stand offs came out exactly as designed. Secured with a stainless counter sunk screw.

Also to ensure that the harness doesn’t get knotted and all stays secure I installed a 30kn swivel via a 25kn locking carabiner. Confident the knot in the nylon will hold.

All that’s left to do now is fly
Great flight despite the wind and conditions! Glad it went so well.
