Both my daughter and I are very excited to try an replicate this, currently looking at picking up the Motorola i290 ($30 used on eBay) and a Canon Powershot A480 (Easier to find then the A470 at the moment.)
I’ve read through a bunch of the information on your site as well as a few of the other sites out there that have successfully performed a launch.
I was wondering if you had any good “gotchas” that we should try and avoid or tips/tricks that might not already be posted that you’d find useful?
Will post back as we get closer to the launch day. Seeing as it’s for a science fair we’re also going to be sending up some roaches with our package to try and see how they fair along the journey.
Thanks in advance for creating something at a reasonable price with exceptional results!!

Anyone ever tried sending up “chloroprene” weather balloons? I am considering testing one along with regular latex balloons.
