Ok, one potential issue is slosh on the way up (wind shear etc.)

Ok. You're going to be pulling higher g's for this one for a significant time, so slosh may be somewhat worse.

Any slosh baffles, or are your attitude jets strong enough to compensate for worst case displacement?

How about dynamic stability?

We are using a Butler Parachutes Lo-Po 550 (low porosity, 550 square feet). Descent rate should be around 21 fps with 285 pounds suspended under the canopy.

This test flight will burn to propellant exhaustion. Depending on how well the recovery goes with this, we may or may not plan the next series of flights for leaving a propellant reserve for active touchdown.
