February - Flying Squirrel on Deck!

The loss of the Pioneer hit the team hard, but everyone knows exactly what went wrong.  What was wrong we were rushed and we all weren't experts in our areas.  We regrouped and re-learned our jobs.  We became experts at loading the motors properly by having Peter and Domo load those over and over and over again.  It worked.  We had that down.  We did some more launches with the Flying Squirrel.

We gained some good data, but things were still off.  We added and removed ballast, but our data didn't seem to make sense.

Pictures and video coming soon.  We need to get that off of the video camera.
