Well, since nobody else started a thread, allow me
About 5-6 people launched today, I will just recap my own launches, as the others can do a much better job describing their stuff.
Recently built Duece with elliptical fins:
For some reason, didn't launch it
Quest Icarus kit bash with Preator fins:
One launch on A10-3T, good strait, low flight.
Scratch built BT5 rocket on A10-3T, good high flight, lost it the first time, Eugene helped my find it. BTW, thanks Eugene
Second flight was bizzar, NC ejected and stuck back in BT, point first. Lawn darted back down, damaged BT.
The model is so light I didn't bother with a streamer. Now I'm wondering if this contributed to the condition.
Quest Icarus with 2 A10 boosters:
One flight with C6-7 and 2 A10-3T boosters, good high flight, all 3 motors lit.
Big Bertha w/24mm MMT
One flight on E9-8, very high, lots of fin spin. Hung it in one of the few trees at the launch site.
Left it there, didn't feel like climbing a tree for $10.
Big Bertha w/18mm MMT
One flight CHAD staged C6/C6, weather cocked right off the pad, covered more distance horizontal than vertical. I thought this one was gone, lost in trees, but it made it out.
I brought out 2 prototypes inspired by Jason Toft, one single 24mm motor, one with 4x24mm.
The single 24 few nice and strait on a D12-5.
The 4x24 was launched with 2 D12-7's, slightly weather cocked, not as high as I thought it would go.
All-in-all, not a bad day, even though this was the first time I lost a rocket; not counting Mosquitos, of course
