This was a rebuild after losing the last one launched with an A3-4t engine. After a 350' boost, the streamer ejected.
It drifted out of the field, over the road and into the townhouses! As I was running towards it I lost sight of where it landed.
Luckily, a woman was walking her dog and saw it landed on the grass between the buildings.
