Launch of Apogee IV high-altitude rocket on a single Estes D12-7. Estimated apogee was around 1500 ft. Flawless launch and deployment of recovery system. But, even with light winds (10 km/hr), drift to NE was significant - perhaps 300-400m, and into forested/rough terrain. Rocket was not recovered even after a 2-3 hr ground search.
