Sratch the last post. My computer was lagging. Anyway, countdown rolled back to ten minutes and holding.

EDIT: Reason for hold is that a plane is flying over the launch site ...

Great launch, expected apogee of 8km.

EDIT: Flight landed 2km downrange. Purpose of flight was to test guidance systems-it went straight up, so that's good Good luck CS on your furture flights!
