Highlights
Windy, cold, and then the launch was cancelled due to snow. Joined by the other diehard Paul Mazel. My first and only launch was the Hi-Tech on a single use H45-10W with the AltAcc used for altitude determination. It flew nicely, with about a 7 second burn. Recovered without a problem. The AltAcc data was not retrieved (problems with the software). Software simulation predicted an altitude of about 4500 feet. Launch was then cancelled due to snow.
