I have never really used streamers before, so yesterday was my streamer day. I did see that Mylar streamers don't like the Wisconsin cold much as they got " brittle" and wanted to tear easily. I decided to push my limits and now know that the hellicat on a c6-5 with a 4 inch streamer 36 inches long doesn't really do anything as it dropped from the sky into the snowy ground.
All in all other than rushing to get home by 3:30 ( I thought the Packers were playing). I had a memorable first winter launch.

Thanks to all at Woosh for arranging a place where we can "play in the snow".

By the way I joined NAR last night. Time to bring on a level 1 cert flight.
