Tripoli Central California had a great November launch. Great weather, almost no breeze, no clouds but a little haze, and warm but not too hot. The bad part was that the launch area was covered in alfalfa, which made it hard to find rockets. There were no M launches, and I don't think any Ls, but a number of Ks, including a two motor cluster, a two stage rocket, and a minimum diameter fiberglass rocket.
I had a good day, got all my rockets back but kept having parachute problems.
BSD 38 special on a I161-m, great up flight, even got some applause. Looked like something was wrong with the parachute and when I found it one of the shroud lines had broken where it was tied to the shock cord.
Areotech initiator (first flight) on a G40-70, great flight but real hard to find.
Estes sizzler on an A8-3, good flight (first flight).
Quest bright hawk on a B6-4, parachute stayed in body tube. Too much wadding? No damage.
Estes big daddy on a D12-3, good flight.
Quest spin fin on an A8-3. Seperation, but the parts landed just in front of me with no damage.
Estes stormcaster on a D12-5. Good flight.
Fliskit duces wild on 2 B6-4s. Good flight.
