Last flight o f the day wouldn't cha know it. Perfect flight but at last minute drifted into the cluster of trees down range and treed at 35 feet. Deployed the clubs YELLOW SAVIOUR and was able to rip the rocket from the chute shrouds and recover BT and nose cone with ALT-one.

Parachuute remains treed. elastic severed. one fin damaged inrecovery. I am certain she will fly again. this is my most consistent flying model-one of my favorites!
