Kinda fitting that this one was less than perfection. A new personal record for flights in a calendar year set with this one, the 157th for 2013. Immediately went unstable at liftoff, did some skywriting, and hit the field just as the ejection charges went off.
Nose weight. It's not for everyone, but it really would have helped in this case.
