Wind from the North-West and quite strong. A probe from Idar-Oberstein made its way to Stuttgart. A vertical velocity of 13m/s during the final phase of the flight was a sure indicator for a parachute malfunction.
Arriving in the vicinity one hour after its landing, I could not pick up the signal right away with the handheld radio. I switched to the yagi-antenna and the SDR, and there it was.

P2050177 had landed in a field. Armed with a torch and a GPS I found and recovered it.
