Hey guys, I finally had a wonderful day available to fly a few rockets. The day started off bad enough though. An R/C glider crew already had the soccer field when I got to the launch site, so I was relegated to the baseball field, so sorry, no C or D flights. Also, when I took out the Porta-Pad, the wingnut/bolt assembly had some stipped threads, so I couldn't get it to hold a launch rod tightly. The ground was soft enough so I just shoved the rod in the ground and used the deflector pad to keep the grass from getting burnt. I launched the following rockets:
1) Quest Astra I (A8-3)
2) Estes Mini Naboo Fighter (A10-3T)
3) Custom Fiesta (B4-4)
4) Estes Polaris (B6-4)
5) Custom Satellite Drone (B6-4)
Anyways, instead of boring you with all the details let me post a few pictures. Nothing to holler about, but I was able to capture a bit of thrust smoke on most of them.
BTW, I will bore you with one detail. All rockets were safely recovered as there was no wind to compete with!
