I'm nay sure what happened but t' altitude be much lower than expected (200-300). Fortunately, t' short delay saved t' day. I believe thar may have been a problem with t' motor as it "shut off" rather abruptly at a low altitude. In spite o' what appeared t' be a gentle landin' in t' pad area, ya bilge rat, one o' t' fin joints showed a crack so no follow up flights were made.
