Today was definitely colder then yesterday, although my sunburn was still warm to the touch so that kind of helped. The low ceiling 1000 ft. +-300 ft depending on time of day put a crimp on big rockets. We know the forecast so I brought along my LPR collection and Estes motors. I haven't had those to a launch in years. It was fun to fly some of the different LPR again. The Estes Twister helicopter recovery and Art Applewhite's Double Helix are always fun. Chad staged a B6-0 to a A10-3 in a 5" saucer for a great flight. My only APCP flight was a F12-5J in a Estes Renegade D. The motor was old and chuffed a lot then corkscrewed all the way up, which that rocket had never done before. Still, it turned out to be a good flight.
Got to watch a shovel recovery of Ben's Jart. That was, shall we say, interesting?
All in all, I think Sunday turned out much better then most folks expected, which is always good.
