Nice flight with the winds picking up.  Swapped out delay elements to get a 6 second delay.  Nice boost, arcing into the wind.  Slightly over the top, pointed down at ejection.  Good chute, wind brought it back to within 50 feet of the pads.  Lakebed landing, got dragged a few feet before I could get to it.  No damage.  Jolly Logic Altimeter One flown for data.
