Jigged right off t' pad, just like t' Laser Lance had earlier. Blimey!  I underestimated how light it would be with t' nose blow recovery and t' drift was pretty huge.  Looked like it got snagged in t' branches o' a Sweet Gum tree near t' field, but I didn't find it until I climbed t' hill t' get a better vantage point. Begad!  There it sat in t' middle o' Woodfill Aveune, right in t' tire tracks o' t' incomin' lane and somehow three cars missed it.  Fin broke, ya bilge rat, but that will be an easy fix, me bucko, and probably t' first o' many.
