+==== Ava2 ====
+Ava2 was a total resign of the PCB and was launched along with Dave Akermans Cloud payload. The mission was to test the new design of PCB and to fly a heated U/V filtered camera. The camera was a total failure with bad steaming up however the new PCB performed perfectly and was tracked from launch to landing. Recovery from a tree was interesting.

+==== pAva ====
+[[http://ava.upuaut.net/?p=295|pAva]] was another prototype board this time using the RFM22B and the chip antenna to create an ultra light (5g) PCB tracker. As there was a possibility of float we fit 2 AA batteries which would have powered it for 36 hours+. However pAVA climbed to over 43km before the balloon failed. The decent took a few hours as the balloon split and acted like a huge parachute. In the end pAVA took the 4th highest altitude in the world for an amateur balloon. pAVA was kindly recovered by Dave Akerman from a field full of wet triffids. See [[http://ava.upuaut.net/?p=315]].
+==== uAva ====
+Testing the µAvaNut PCB and flying a GoPro camera this was another sucessful flight. Unfortunately the Gopro footage wasn't perfect as the lense again steamed up. Won't be flying the case next time. Write up in the same article as listed above.
 AVA is always very pink.
