Two hundred and five rockets filled the skies at the Bert Adams Scout Reservation November 12th launch event where one hundred and ten participants and their families came out to enjoy a sunny and mild afternoon.  A slow start quickly ramped up to a steady pace of launches where B6-4s and C6-5s ruled the day.  Keith Frazier arrived to provide rocket supplies and refreshments. The spacious field helped ensure recoveries as did the high energy of those doing the retrieving.  Joe Burley’s scratch built and innovative Laughing Cow (spool) saw its first flight on a C6-3 and Chris Frye flew a two-stage Quest UFO to a respectable altitude on a D12-0/C6-0 combination.  Kevin Boyd brought out his Mega Mosquito boosted by a D12-3 and had an atypical CATO with his Solar Warrior with a C11-5.  Ken Frye launched an interesting group of rockets with assorted cargos descending on their own parachutes.  Even Jorge got in on the action with a couple of spools of different configurations and flight characteristics.  A very busy but successful outing that brought a lot of excitement to many families.
