WIth a great deal of embarrasment.. The choice of green and yellow was not appropriate given the expanse of cornfields where it drifted to. 
Perfect flight until apogee (about 6000'). The flight computer blew the tiny drouge chute out perfectly at apogee, but the force of the ejection knocked the nosecone off, deploying the main recovery chute at high altitude. Normally, the flight computer would pop the main chute at 4-500' to minimize drift. Needless to say, it can drift up to 2' for every 1' of altitude, so it may have come down over 2 miles away. Next flight will have a GPS to transmit it's Long/Lat back to me as it descends.
Anyway, it either sank quickly in the river, came down in the road and the chute snagged on a car - which dragged it miles away, or someone ran off with it with tales of alien abduction. I fear I'll never know for sure!
Hmm, you're in upstate NY? Keep your eyes out - it went down in the Pine Island area! (41:18:41.44N - 74:26:41.96W)
