Saturday turned out to be a very nice day for flying rockets.  The winds were totally in ignorance of the forecast and shifted around 270 degrees during the course of the launch. 

We had a number of very interesting projects including 7 two stage flights.  Jorge Blanco launched the most powerful two stager with an F15-0 staging to an F15-7.  Sadly, we got to watch that one sail into the horizon….gotta watch to parachute sizes!  Chris Lucas showed everyone how it’s done by flying a mini Comanche sporting A10-0 to A10-0 to A10-3  staging.  All three stages lit…but the first stage lift was to say the least….unhurried.

John Lawrence flew a 3 motor (B6-4) project.  Tom T. outmuscled John flying a rocket with a pair of D12-3 motors.

For Saturday’s Ouch we had Jorge Blanco leave a Dual Deploy Class 1 rocket 70 feet up in a tree.  He hopes to get the altimeter bay back at some point (should be ok).
