Oh Man did I (and the Rest of the club) have just a GREAT flying day last Saturday.

With temps in the mid to upper 50's, Light to nearly no winds for the SE (3-6mph) and High over 50% cloud cover with occasional thinning to blue skies it was as close to IDEAL flying weather as you could hope for. Add to that it was also my Birthday. What more could anyone ask for LOL!

Flew all kinds of Micro Stuff and a big honking 4- D12 clustered Odd-roc as well. instead of boring you all with reading I'll just add some of the Photos for you viewing. Was such a good day I even got Good Photo tips on my digital camera making some Micro Lift-off shots possible as well:)

Yes! That Big gaudy Birthday package wrapped rocket flew! it's the 4-D12 Cluster I spoke of... Not a all a micro but Sure was a Fun Flight. ejecting confetti, Party Popper Streamers and the 30" Nylon Hemi Chute at about 570feet. I already uploaded most of these pics in the Odd-Roc forum.

All day we flew 1/8A to G stuff getting just about everything back, had RC gliders, and quad-copter drone taking video. All kinds of really nifty Rocket stuff.

What a Wonderful Happy Day.
