Bruce -- sorry to hear about your loss; always sucks to lose an
airframe, especially something new and shiny.

We'd love to hear any more details you can provide to see if we can
figure out what might have happened. Can you send us the telemetry log
file (the .telem file)? Do you have pictures of how the system was
mounted in the airframe?

We'd also like to hear back if you ever find the airframe; we've managed
to recover data from broken hardware in the past, as long as the flash
chip hasn't been destroyed.

If you've got any other ideas or information, please send them along --
we're very interested in trying to figure out how to keep this from
happening again.

Again, our condolences on this unsuccessful flight.

-keith
