    Balloon worked fine. They were turning the crane when a hold-down cable broke. Next time install a remote controlled quick release.

    Yeah and larger ones at that as well Mike, I'm wondering if the balloon was filled enough. Top ballooning tip though, never park downwind of a launching balloon!

    Ouch! I wonder if it was just too much wind, or if they didn't get climb rate -- usually those payloads go up smartly after launch.
