Nice flight but risky to possible aircraft in the area to launch into a low cloud....unfortunately where I launch , pilots seem to ignore the Notams and fly right over the launch area all the time..not worth taking a chance launching into clouds.
I used to print pilot's maps. Places to not fly over, routinely ignored: mushroom farms, Studs, mental hospitals, large country estates. Ignored for different reasons, but normal behaviour.
@@metermatch NAR HP safety code rule 9: Flight Safety. I will not launch my rocket at targets, into clouds, near airplanes,... No, you can't just HAVE AT IT and insurance doesn't cover flagrant violations of the code either. I believe the rule of thumb is no more than 50% cloud cover in the space you are launching into.
