My personal flight report at the January ROSCO launch at Orangeburg,SC. This also was my Level 1 weekend!

Saturday was cold and windy, but did manage to get my Binder Design Thug up on a G35-4W. Great flight! Next up was my Aerotech Barracuda on a E23-5T. Another great flight! Everyone at the field was cold and it took a lot of will power to get the few rockets off the ground that we did. Definitely prep your RMS motors in the motel room!!! Ken Allen arrived and I got my motor for my Level 1 launch the next day. By about 3pm I and my family were pretty wore out, so we headed to the motel to get warm.

Sunday.....What a difference 24 hours make! Started out a little cold, but did it ever improve! Clear skies and little or no wind! Everyone got out their high flyers and let loose! Quest UFO (my son's) on a C6-0. Great little flight! Next up was the Thug again on a G64-4W. Great flight until ejection. Sounded real powerful and the rocket separated at the top centering ring. Recovered everything and will be able to repair quite easily. Next was an Estes MaxTrax on a C6-5 with a good flight. My Barracuda went up next on a F20-7J with good results. Now came my Level 1 flight with my PML AMRAAM3. Gotta' love those Pro38's!!! Tom Binford helped out and I was ready to launch. Launched on an H143SS and it was a great flight with no problems!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOO! Closed out the day with my PML AMRAAM2 on a G64-4W and another great flight.

Thanks to everyone who helped me out!!! Pictures are forthcoming!

Nice work on the Level 1 Mike! Congratulations! It sounds like you had a pretty solid day flying composite motors. That's too bad about the cold first day, but heck, it sure makes for a memorable day of launching rockets.
