It has been a long time coming, but hopefully the first of many more to come. I am madly repairing and building new night launch rockets (which I really love). It is not much notice but we would like to invite all in the area to attend if possible.

What are the temperatures and wind like then.

Temperatures are in the mid 70s to low 80s. The winds are variable. We have a weather station at the main launch site. Scroll down to the current conditions.

I made my way out from San Diego to hang out with friends and fly some rockets. I also managed to get a few decent pictures.

My dad's L1/L2 cert rocket. A 5.5" Polecat Nike Smoke flying on a H550. Unfortunately the old nylon shock cord snapped and the booster section was wrecked.

My 3" tubefin flying on a H226 Skidmark.

A kit one of my friends made that's a downscale of his L2 rocket flying on a F44. It took 3 tries to light, and required a special igniter from AMW.
