Cocked into t' wind, but drifted back across t' field and hung up on a power line after catchin' a gust at t' last possible second. T' wind then blew it along t' line until it tangled in a transformer. Begad! I don't think I'll be climbin' up after it.
9-3-13 T' Drifter fell today, just two days short o' five months. Begad! Nose cone, arrr, parachute and shock cord are still wrapped tightly on t' wire. Avast, me proud beauty! Motor pulled out easily and after fixin' a fin and findin' a new nose cone, matey, I think I might be able t' fly this one again. That'll show B6-4 Field!
