Not sure exactly what happened here, but I suspect that it was the same as the previous flight, the Estes Converter. I had anticipated a B6-4 flight, but I think it was prepped with a C6-5 for the Huber Heights field. Left the pad heading right and never got back over the field. Hung over the Birdcage for a while, then drifted across US 27. One more decent breeze would have allowed it to recover safely in the parking lot of the Apartment House of Horrors, but it caught at the top of the tree.

Actual Altitude: 327 Feet
