This reminds me of the old Cox planes.
Anyone remember those, with the special fuel and battery?
Things never worked right.

In model rocketry you can't go more than 30 degrees off center. That was t 30 degrees into the wind.
The thing is if you have a wind blowing into your face when the chute deploys that thing ends up 500 yards away. I found that out on my first launch. Thing goes up....chute deploys...drifts over to the neighbors...into a pasture...


Here's the launch field (big picture)

I used to have rockets when i was a kid, and a helicopter, which also got stuck in trees and landed everywhere except for where I wanted it to.
