Built durin' t' great "I got all these Mini Hojo kits for $3" scare o' 2022, but I got it in me head that it was also mini powered. Actually a perfect bird for t' narrow confines o' B6-4 Field. A10 flight followed t' same path as t' Corporal, me bucko, but with more drift on recovery. Begad! Blimey! Caught itself on three wires out near US 27 and t' third one looked permanent, but it had dropped t' t' road by t' time I got there. Just missed gettin' smooshed by t' only car that passed. Now I have t' decal it.

Actual Altitude: 174 Feet
