Took a hard right lean comin' off t' rail (downwind). Begad!  Nice sparky motor burn.  Arcin' over through t' coast, good drogue deployment at apogee, good main at 500 feet. Begad!  Landed on t' sod in an adjacent field, long walk, no damage.  Everythin' seems intact, ya bilge rat, can't explain t' off center boost.
