Shortened Quest Brighthawk.  Flew like a scalded dog, then drifted forever despite the 12" parachute.  Cleared the trees and looked like it was going to threaten the cars in the lot across the street, but plunked down in the turn lane of US 27 instead.  Four cars passed it without hitting it.  Ft. Thomas people are nothing if not courteous.
