How did it turnout yesterday? Is there any pics & videos? I know it's early, but maybe 1?
Rockets

I would like to see something also.Any news of where it will be held next year??

Here is one unfortunate rocket on the away cell
Thursday

Mine on Thursday K650SS

Sky's were partly sun on Thursday - not much wind.
Friday started partly cloudy then turned sunny for the high flyers but windy - 8-12 mph
HUGE line of flyers trying to get on pads - both days have seen so many rockets you can't count - surprisingly many CATOS as well - sorry for those people, my ears are still ringing.

Any idea what size motors are having CATO problems??

I saw a bunch of modroc's catoing.

I ended up launching 3 motors over the course of the launch.


I got some pictures, I'll post 'em when I get home.

Sorry Crossfire I don't, things were moving Very fast today and couldn't remember what motor they said then woosh BOOM "fire extinguisher please"... Darn, what motor was that??
- seamed like 25% of the away cells were CATOing, but could've been assembly - airframes , motors etc,

Friday I achieved my personal best
X-Celerator on an L1000
Hit a bit over 8300'
My first time to break a mile!!!!!

Thursday I got 3 flights in. Friday was 7 including a night flight (another first for me)

Was that the DMS L-1000? I have a couple of them. What was your rocket lift off weight?
Thanks

8-12 mph windy? In Texas, that's considered "variable winds." My fellow Texans will back me up I'm sure . I pretty much hear orchestral hymns when I see wind predictions like that in Texas :wink:. Yes, I managed to say Texas, or some variation, in so many sentences come to think of it .

Flew 2 K's on thursday and then got down to some serious certifications. Between Thurs and Friday I gave 5 L2 exam passes and was able to observe 5 of their flights to success.
3 L1 certs, all good and a failed Jr L1. Teamed up with Neil to fly the big stuff - we got Dinosuars rocket extreme up on the outboards, but didn't get the main. Still managed 700 feet on 3 L's . Not bad for a 200+ pound rocket. We decided to do the bonus flight on a large M Bullpuppy, we got a little more altitude then expected and a corkscrew that put us about a mile and half off the field :< thanks to some nice Mennonite children, they flagged down Neil and he was reunited with it. We didn't find the nose cone, however ;<
So we made some plans for red glare - he's gonna rebuild his dinosaur fin can and I'm gonna finish the punch list on the Mega Wildman for red glare. 2 flights, almost 800 pounds of rockets :> Should be fun!

Yes. Total weight with motor was 18.25 pounds

Flew great with no issues

Left the 14s delay in as backup

My Hawk Mountain Proteus on a 98-4G M2225 Plain Jane to 9,556'. Perfect flight!

Lucern Valley (ROC)-come fly with us! Sorry nothing over an "M" is allowed (CSFM)

Here's the flight line from a few thousand feet.

That was a great flight Dan! beautiful motor!
If anyone got a video or more pictures of my L2 flight Thursday morning (11:30ish) please let me know!
14k feet and mach 1.57! Dave managed to grab this great shot, but it's the only one I've got.
