The February 29th launch event at Dawsonville was held under sunny skies but very constant and chilly winds that presented some difficult challenges.  Braving these conditions were sixteen participants who accomplished fifty-two launches.

Looking to test their skills in calculating launch angles against wind speeds, total thrust, and descent rates we had Dan Smith launching an Estes Savage two stage rocket with a D12/B6 and a LOC IRIS with a F37.  Ray Lecture had a good flight with his Mega Red Max on a F67.  Kevin Scholberg brought out some of his very creative rockets that were shown at the last RocketTalk meeting like the Star Struck, Oooh! Shiny!, and Silifin.  Jorge launched his Outlander on its first flight on a D12.   [event photos]
