Well yesterday, 11-7-04, our Civil Air Patrol squadron attended a Launch with PARA. This was so our cadets would have the chance to launch rockets and complete a step towards earning their model rocketry badge. We had 11 cadets come, and burnt some 25+ A through C motors in a bunch of Quest Gamma Rays that we had built at our meeting the Tuesday before. As the Aerospace Sergeant I organized and helped the cadets build their rockets, and taught a bunch of classes about the history of rocketry and how rockets work over the past two months. For the most part things went well for the cadets launching, a few of them brought other models that they already had, including a Blue Ninja, Chrome Dome, and Sky Winder. I, of course, brought a box full of rockets but didnt get to fly most of them. As a matter of fact I only got in four flights, and had some cadets fly a kit bashed Gamma Ray of mine (extended it with an extra BT and payload, using two extra transitions).
