CTRA October 19th Launch

Rain, Rain, Rain....Clouds....Clouds.....FOG

Not the best of days. Overcast all day with rain in the morning, so we spent the time talking underneath Bob from Hangar 11's EZ-up. When the rain calmed down, we set up one Estes pad, and one High Power pad. There were a few Estes that went up, and a few High Power's. I got my Monocopter up on an E11J, and bought an H238T and an I218R to fly. We built both motors....then the fog set in...

While the weather was decent, Mark Stackpole flew a 5.5" Tomahawk on a J540R. Very cool flight to 1700'.

Not incredible, but a good time none the less.

Oh man! I didn't go. I figured it was cancelled. They seem to call of launches if there is even a chance of rain. So when I woke up this morning and saw it was raining, I figured it had been cancelled. I had an H180 for my Tethys. That's a great rocket for low ceiling days. It usually stays under 1,000 feet on an H. Oh, well.
