Up from So. Texas to Kansas city for a "club" launch over Labor day weekend. VP ran the camera (me) while Prez hit GO.
AND I GOT SOME EXCELLENT PIX.
95% of what I flew was scratchers.
Pix in order :
1) Coral Snake III on 2 x E9-4. Beaut flight.
a mailing tube. No investment, using leftover fin material and borrowed a NC from another bird. The C-rings are corrogated cardboard, the MMT are rolled up filing folders coated with yellow glue, rolled around a spent motor casing.
2) my AMRAAM * 2.25 upscale of the Estes kit, which turns out, is about 1/2 scale of the real thing.
3) AM*2.25 off the pad on F23-7FJ
4) AM*2.25 in the air !
5) The Prez's Duece. . . .in the air. . . .
We had 4 club firsts. . . .Prez did an airstart. I flew the scratch cantilever AP cluster on 2 F20-4, first flight, only one engine lit, I figured major screw. Nope, it flew pretty well. Second flight was perfect. Magnificent. Aerial Photos with the Astrocam.
