Built during the great "I got all these Mini Hojo kits for $3" scare of 2022, but I got it in my head that it was also mini powered. Actually a perfect bird for the narrow confines of B6-4 Field. A10 flight followed the same path as the Corporal, but with more drift on recovery. Caught itself on three wires out near US 27 and the third one looked permanent, but it had dropped to the road by the time I got there. Just missed getting smooshed by the only car that passed. Now I have to decal it.

Actual Altitude: 174 Feet
