Launch Reports
Remember that day you launched that four motor cluster? Nah, me neither. That’s why Jeff Coons (and friends) have this page, to remind us of all the great launches we’ve had!
Mill Springs Launch Report
On a beautiful day at Mill Springs where low humidity and clear blue skies provided an excellent day to streak skyward we had a great turnout and over 105 flights. Due to moderate winds at mid-day most opted for A8-3 (26 launches) followed by seventeen going up on a B6-4, fourteen with B4-4, and eleven challenging with a C6-5, and even some Ds and Es were ignited. Steve Bellio receives top honors with a launch of a G78-4G on his LOC Stovi. Most rockets were recovered by parachute (76) with 21 coming back on streamer. We also saw tumble recoveries and some well executed gliders. Most interesting rocket name was read more…

Southern Thunder 2013 Report
March Briner sends us his report on Southern Thunder last weekend in Manchester, TN:
“If you weren’t there, you missed a good one. Both days saw mostly sunny skies, temperatures in the upper 80s, and light morning winds blowing ever so slightly into the woods. Hard to say exactly how many flyers showed up; I got there early Saturday to claim a prime spot on the flight line close to the rangehead.
Saturday, I read more…
Lost Mountain Park Launch Report
John Adams sends a report about the August 11th launch.
“WOW! We had a great launch today at Lost Mountain!
We launched some rockets, ZERO rockets were lost, and even had some nice contest flights.
1/2A Helicopter Duration was actually pretty dramatic! Jorge had a good flight then a prang. Joel had to overcome a few issues before finally getting a really good flight to win the event.
1/2A Streamer was the most popular event with read more…
Braselton Launch Report
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.
