+ | My first launch was on a very sunny day in October. Due to relative inexperience we didn't put enough gas in the balloon and it ended up floating out to sea.

Recovery was initiated by boat and despite the failure of all the electronics due to salt water the pictures were spectacular. | ||

+ | Testing the µAvaNut PCB and flying a GoPro camera this was another sucessful flight. Unfortunately the Gopro footage wasn't perfect as the lense again steamed up. Won't be flying the case next time. Write up in the same article as listed above. | ||
