Well, I got my rocket back. I went back two hours later and luckily it had blown out of the tree. Only damage was a frayed parachute line. I'll try to record the second launch tomorrow.
The launch went perfect, no surface wind, flawless ejection and chute deploy, then the wind came, the chute worked too well and it glided across three full soccer fields, a parking lot and a small field to land in the top branch of a 70ft tree.

The same thing happened to me today on the maiden flight of my new rocket.
