Jeff’s Report From Saturday’s Launch

Published on January 10, 2015

The January 10th launch event at Mill Springs was conducted under blue contrail crisscrossed skies with light and variable winds. There were twenty-five participants making a total of 69 launches. The motor selections were as follows: 1/2A – 4, A – 8, B – 31, C – 14, D – 5, E – 7. We saw many excellent flights including Gabriel’s Estes Astron Skydart II making two very nice flights, March Briner’s Applewhite saucer with great flight performance, and Oliver Long’s Estes Leviathan flown by Nathaniel on an E16-6 with impressive results. There were fifteen rockets being launched for their first flight. Steve Bellio hovered nearby with his new camera drone taking launch videos and snap shots with results to be viewed later (pictures must be copied from the memory card). All in all it was a beautiful day with lots of moments enjoyed by all participants and their family members who came along to support them.
