Launch Site: Syracuse Rocket Club (Weigand's Field)
Actual Altitude: 543.00 Feet

Finally another debut flight, the Au-198 for NARTREK Gold with altimeter aboard. Looked like a good flight, but not enough dog barf I guess: the streamer melted half through. And should have been a parachute, maybe, or at least a wider streamer? One fin cracked. Altitude was 543′, lower than expected.
