On a beautiful day at Mill Springs where low humidity and clear blue skies provided an excellent day to streak skyward we had a great turnout and over 105 flights. Due to moderate winds at mid-day most opted for A8-3 (26 launches) followed by seventeen going up on a B6-4, fourteen with B4-4, and eleven challenging with a C6-5, and even some Ds and Es were ignited. Steve Bellio receives top honors with a launch of a G78-4G on his LOC Stovi. Most rockets were recovered by parachute (76) with 21 coming back on streamer. We also saw tumble recoveries and some well executed gliders. Most interesting rocket name was (more…)

We had a terrific day in Braselton, GA. This was a scout sponsored launch that asked us to handled the launch. We had a large crowd and flew approx 225 rockets ranging from A8-3’s to some C6-5’s.
Of course some of our members and a few others launched anywhere from D12-3’s up to a couple of G’s. The rain held off with the exception of a two-minute light sprinkle so it was a great day to fly rockets.
We did have a few rockets that left the field and unfortunately March and Glenn both lost one of their larger rockets, along with the hardware within, to the deep woods.
