I was able to go home over July 4th weekend. We went to my uncle's house and me and my cousins flew a few rockets
We started off small with a Bullpup on a C6-5. That thing took off quick. Unfortunately, it landed in a huge pond.
So we looked around for other things to fly. We picked out an Aerotech HV Arcas and a Loc Precision Weasel. My uncle had a bunch of old F72T's. We loaded up the Arcas for a very cool flight. We then flew the Weasel on the same motor. Luckily we got them both back. We then decide we needed more power. So we loaded up a G64W for the Arcas. That was pretty sweet. That was the first flight my Grandmothers and my mother had ever seen.
Then we went looking for more motors. We found an Apogee F10. I wasn't sure if it could lift the Weasel, but we decided to do it anyway. It was perfect! It started off very slow and you could see it accelerating quickly. Sadly, it landed in the trees. (My cousin got it back a few days later)
Undaunted, we flew some more. We flew the Arcas on a G33J. Then we flew it twice more on F72's. It was a very good day.
Of course, you don't think I would launch some rockets without my camera? Pics here.
