Not the leadoff flight I expected, but I'm not complaining.  Nice, long burn and a flight path that curved slightly to the right.  Unfortunately the soccer field was to the right.  Landed just behind the last row of cars and immediately drew a crowd, which dispersed quickly.  The two who were left carried it back to me like it was going to go off in their hands, but they were full of questions.
