We have already began buying the compontents for balloon flight #4 (this time with less fail!).
We have already ordered and a new gps, aprs beacon, parachute, video camera, and directional beacon.
This time we are thinking of putting a boost mobile cell phone along with instamapper software that will track the phone via its gps and log it on the web. This will provide a backup method of finding it.

That's great! I already use Instamapper's blackberry app. It works very consistently. I was going to suggest it, but didn't realize it could be run from a pay-per-use phone, and thought it might take up too much of the payload weight.
