The first mid-powered rocket I built when I got back into the hobby was an AeroTech Arreaux. I flew it with a Jolly Logic AltimeterTwo and a RunCam video camera. On its fourth flight it ended up in a tree on the north side of Buder Park, out of reach of the 40 foot reachie stick. I tried getting a line over the branch with a slingshot but was not successful.
