Jim, I haven't received my newsletter yet, but in my conversation with Don
today, I thought he specified that there were only 6 reflights due to
administrative circumstances. That works out to 0.9 percent, which is pretty
good if you ask me! I know I had a reflight granted after my first flight
when I had a plane/line allision (somebody flew their line into my plane,
rather than a collision where we flew our lines and planes into each other :)
It spun me out of my launch trajectory and I got half a launch. I was
graciously awarded a reflight by Phil. Also, I just want to thank Phil again
for a great job, and also everybody who helped pull off the contest,
including the Crystal Lake Park District for granting us the use of their
facility.
