PS , you'll notice I used Impact rather than land , and that's cause to me when I think of successful return to earth I think of land , VS when I think of crash I think of , well Impact I guess . Yea I know , "crash landing" and all that , but I do think of the two words generally as separate ...

At 259 miles per hour, after loss of signal, that "unguided cruise missile" will travel almost 760 feet before the engine even shuts down - and that's IF it's programmed to do so as required by AMA rules. Just imagine the attention the hobby would get if it landed on that busy section of I-75.
