Q-Jet C12-6. Really nice flight all around. But nose cone stuck backwards in body for descent. Interesting snap-back, that.

Nova Payloader(4) flight 20

Estes C6-5. Almost perfect flight up and down. I don't know why there is no weather data here. For what it's worth, the conditions similar to the next flight (Nova Payloader(4) flight 21).
