[MT-ALES] Higher Altitudes Granted for AMA Flying Sites!

[Duane Beck]

No, its not a conversion. F5J Storm layup with full white paint.

I had three effective zeroes from technical issues. Two from a poor
selection of switch assignment which resulted in motor cutoff immediately
after launch (remedied by changing assigned switch) and a third from dead
receiver due to what turned out to be a disconnected CAM F5J from a firmer
than planned arrival, which took most of an hour in the hotel room to
remedy. Might have placed as high as 7th without those issues. Start height
in the last round erased all of my extra flight time and then some. Lesson
learned.
