Hi Terry,
After the Vashon didn't get airborne, I became aware of the problem after I went back and read the directions thoroughly. It was all there, they didn't recommend launching in colder weather. With the Freon being a self-refrigerant the cold temperatures only compounded the problem.
It is funny looking back at it though. All that hard work building, the anticipation and my heart pounding when I pushed the button - and nearly nothing!
The only thing I have found close to it is this You Tube video - you have to watch it until the end:
