How often does everybody get to launch?

[kuririn]

Our group in Hawaii tries for once a month, but due to weather conditions we end up doing 4-6 launches per year. Compounded by the small field sizes and life's priorities we can only schedule on the weekends. I really envy those of you on the mainland with the big sanctioned launches and wide open fields. I would be launching all the time if I were living there. Keep on rock(ateer)in'.

Once a month... sometimes twice in the winter months.

Not nearly often enough. In 2017, I flew a total of five rockets. My L3 cert flight at Mini Midwest Power, a scratch minimum diameter on an i65 at Bong, and three Estes flights with my daughter in her sixth birthday.

Between weather, work, family health issues, and associated life stuff it was not an active year. Also, at launches I sometimes drop my stuff to help less experienced flyers, or go to just help friends fly their larger stuff.
