At the April 13th SoAR launch event at Mill Springs Academy the skies were sunny, the temperatures were pleasant, but gosh… those wind gusts were not friendly. Nonetheless there were many excellent flights throughout the day. Once the field setup was complete, and while the winds were still favorable, there was time to take advantage of prime conditions for less risky flights.
Outstanding launches included Darren’s Dynastar LexxJet flown twice on E12-4 motors. He also dialed in a successful launch rod angle for his Quest Harpoon that went up three times on C6-5s for good altitude and then successfully recovered on the field. Kevin Scholberg had a number of impressive flights including his LOC 429 SS on a quad-cluster of two E16-4s and two C11-0s, a LOC Norad powered by a F32-4T, his scratch-built Red Devil flown with a D24-4T, and his scratch-built Steve Bellio Special also powered by a D24-4T.
The event had twenty participants launching a total of sixty-seven rockets. Some pictures from the event [here].
