So was this postponed due to the weather/wind?

I posted some pictures in the Gallery of the TARC Launch "Lite" from yesterday in the Acton Winter Carnival 2013 category as I was not able to start a new category for some reason. They are the last 5 pictures uploaded. I call the last one "Kenn Pushing Buttons". It wasn't a bad day to launch. Wind was light and it wasn't too cold. The team launched a Flis Triskelion to check the conditions, then one practice flight and finally an official attempt.

I just moved these over to their own category. Guy, what was the problem you were having creating a new category?

No, it was decided by the team that they would make their try on Saturday instead of Sunday. Guy and I had been in touch with Tom via email and the weather forecast looked better for Saturday, not great, but better. The new schedule was announced a few posts ago.

As it ended up, the weather wasn't an issue. The potential snow didn't happen and the ceiling was high enough we could see the rocket through the whole flight. Today would have been undoable.

It may have been just user error, but it said something like I could not create a new category under the current category.

Guy.
