California's new state record- 171 miles!!!!!  (editors note: GPS Track shows 172 miles)

YES, YES, YES!!!!!!!! I just landed somewhere in the Nevada desert, after completing my longest flight yet! I am so psyched beyond belief, this was a huge goal for me!!!!

Launched Walts around nine this morning, and took it up north. The IP6 crushed it!

I will get the track log posted soon, with a trip report.
