Well, we had another great HPR launch today with mild winds and clear skies. I launched the Harpoon on a Pro38 I205 and the AMRAAM 4 on a Pro38 J360...everything went well. Many cool launches including an R/C rocket glider from the original run...some of you may know what it is, but I don't. It had canards for elevators and was old in design and I want to thank the owner for snapping the shot of it at takeoff. That Green beauty flew well, I was at the sticks and it landed softly out in the field. Thanks Larry for letting me fly your bird!
We had a Girl Scout Troop 387 at our site today and the girls had a blast. They had each decorated their rockets with stickers and such, which is a big change from the boy scouts that either use decals or just paint. Some very nice work. Quite a variety of rockets too including one girls original Estes SR71 from the 80's and the Troop Master's Estes Saturn V.
Finally, I want to congratulate our very own Forum Member...Adam Crane, who attempted his Level 1 Certification today with the upscale 4" version of the Arreaux he had posted on our forum. He made the trip from NW Ohio and brought the rocket to us; this model is a piece of work guys! For an 18 year old, he did a fantastic job of building as the thing is strong as a rock. He launched it today on an I435...YES, I sid the biggest I motor available!!! What a launch and to top it off, he set up dual deployment which worked like a charm...you RARELY see D-D on a L1 bird. He is definitely ready to take the L2 plunge anytime. Big Congrats!!!
