Great launch yesterday! Especially in the morning, the launch had the least wind of any Acton launch.

Coupled with the very powdery snow, parachutes were nearly unnecessary. This was fortunate given frequent \"wad of plastic\" recoveries. Due to frigid conditions, most plastic parachutes didn\'t open unless they\'d been dusted with talcum powder.

Also saved by the snow was my Big (4\" dia) Pink Crayon where I\'d forgotten to install the ejection charge. :ohmy:

I saw someone video taping one of the Crayon launches. I\'d love a copy of the video (or any stills).
