Was able to get some up this morn just before the fields got too muddy.

Under Dog (aka Estes Big Daddy)
Magnum Hornet (Clone with Semroc parts and decals)
Maxi Alpha 3 (cato)
Purple Haze (aka Fliskit=Rock Star)
5-55BT.. canted 2x18 scratcher
Spectacular..scratcher


Me boy "Kodiac" loves it when we go flying.

Anywhoo--Nice morn to ge some up.

All went good except the Maxi Alpha 3 had some sort of CATO?
I haven't gone over all the facts on what happened yet.

I'm thinking it was a bunch of things went wrong in flash.
I'll get back at ya on that issue.

My "5-55BT" (black 2 cluster rocket) flew sweet.
The flight path was me looking at the rear as it arched away from me with those twins lit up!!! perfect view!!!!
Recovery was just as good to watch as it slowly came down with the bird hanging horizontal . NICE!

Only draw back was trying to fly , watch, and take pics by me self.

Great pics! Looks like Kodiac preflights your birds.
 
Goodness, I hope your dog doesn't try to bite the rocket and retrieve it for you! On a craft body tube, that could spell disaster right there! ;)
 
Ya,Kodiac is something else.
I put the rocket on the rod and he's ready. He gets wicked anxious and starts to bark at me if I take to long to push the button.
I DO tell him to back off before I do push the button.
What gets me , is that he can track them as well a he does.
Its works good for me when they (rocket) drifts out in the field.
He'll get to the spot sometimes before the rocket lands . Then he stays there till I walk out to him.
He is also a very smart and behaved dog. He was taught not to touch the rockets and he doesn't.
 
I just love your pictures of Kodiac stand by your rockets.
I showed my wife the pictures of Kodiac and she started laughing and began talking about our dogs and their enjoyment of rockets. She just loved Kodiac's facial expressions...priceless. Thanks for sharing.
