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.
There was a crew from Canada that videoed the launch for a Discovery Channel program. We will receive details about when it will be shown here in the US and will also be given a link to it after it is aired on TV.
This is a great field and the field owner was impressed with our organization and we’ve invited his family to come out to the Dragway launch in August. In fact, we may have increased the spectators coming to the Dragway launch by an additional 30-40 people. Several people asked about our club and showed interest in joining.
So all in all, it was a very successful day.
