Don I launched that one from a baseball field at a small playground, way too small of a launch area. I used most of that 20 foot CMR Alum Mylar streamer that is shown hanging in my closet in one of my other pics for that flight. I tightly folded as much as I could fit in that small airframe and cut off the rest. I didn't really expect to get it back but I did. With the streamer deployed at apogee you could barely see the streamer glitter like a small spec in the sky.

Nice pic Al I see you used your little chrome "Fly with FSI" stickers on yours too
