Estes Centuri #3232 on D12-5. Still needs paint and decals, but she flies beautifully.

Dragonfly taking off on a J415 at the annual ALRS launch in Switzerland 2014 (Altitude 1400m)

Below is my small OTRAG flying on a Cluster of 4 F50 SU Motors. Same Launch last year, this was the boilerplate small model to see if everything works and if the model flies stable (the big Version with 4x I357 is already on the bench ;) )

Tom.... did that rocket fly at LDRS? If so,,,, what motor? I think I remember a similar looking rocket and 2 other people looked at me with a look of "This is gonna be awesome." :)
 
It flew on Thursday and again on Friday at LDRS last week in Potter.

Both flights on a CTI M3700... slow to a low altitude of 1000'
Rocketman chute 30' at apogee

Thank you!
Before AT and CTI were certified for the German market, the ALRS Launch was the biggest Launch you could attend on mainland Europe. This is where I certified L2 und L3, and it is still the one Launch were I definitely attend each year...the view is spectacular, and the Folks are nice - what more (except good weather) can you ask for? ;)
 
My (Extended) Wildman Jr. named Green Plasma. Flight on and H180 to 680m at the RJD Launch in May 2015. Just to Show that I'm flying in Germany as well:)

3 photos from NARAM of my Formula 75. I470, I236, and I212. Sadly it didn't deploy on the I212 and is buried underground somewhere...

^ It was a K740 C-star. Very cool motor, I wasn't at that launch but have seen 1 or 2 flown and they are quite impressive.

However, my Astron Cobra was too quick to catch, just on three B6-4s:

And a Deuce's Wild Nike conversion. I didn't catch the flier's name:

Sorry Dan, no. I've been guilty of mostly photographing my own stuff, unless something really grabbed my attention.
 
I'm enjoying the scenery nearly as much as the rockets. Here's mine Johannesburg, South Africa. EX K.
