KR> "Shreg" went off the end of the runway

Today was the 4th flight with "shreg" and it ended in the felt on the extended runway. I came in on finals and did a side slip in a 75 degree X-wind. The speed was down to 90 mph when I crossed the fence and I was about 1m above the runway over the numbers. I was hoping to loose the extra 10
