 ===== Conclusion =====
+  * The setup was very easy - having a large indoors space to fill made getting the mass, lift and ascent rate much easier. This is vital for these foil balloons which small error margins.
+  * The data shows that we did manage float for about 10 mins before we lost radio contact - this is great news but we'll need a further flight with a sustained float to actually prove it.
+  * Low altitude flights are hard to track - its difficult to get the widespread listeners as you do need to be quite close or have a good setup. This wasn't helped this time by what was most likely an antenna problem on the payload.
+  * Often we could hear the RTTY but weren't able to decode the data - some morse in this situation might have helped.
