Well, my wife woke up and told me we could do whatever I wanted today. After slapping me for the initial look that I gave her, it was off to fly rockets today.
Great weather for flying, very light winds, very sunny - but it was *hot*!!!
Anyway, I finally figured out the camera for launch pix. It's a fancy camera, you see, and I couldn't decipher the 800 pages of instructions that came with it because they're loosely translated from Japanese. Leave it to good ol' trial and error, I finally figured it out.
First flight of the day was the maiden voyage of the SS Cassiopiea on a C6-5. Kind of a slow boost, with a bit of wobble, but a very nice flight to about 650' and a great recovery on an 18" Thrustline ripstop chute.
And here's my first ever successful launch pic.
