The October 12th Mill Springs launch event got a delayed start due to SoAR’s participation in the Roswell Youth Parade, but as the afternoon got underway, we had twenty-seven participants accomplish a total of ninety launches.  The Fall weather was very comfortable with moderate winds diminishing later during the event.

Some highlights included the Estes Luna Bug that made an appearance with Madison’s Bumble Bee sent skyward with an A10 and Joe Burley’s Bug sent up on a 1/4A which was successfully retrieved.  Joe also brought his Cognis Aerospace Zweistik Repulsor and had a successful flight with an A3 (an earlier A10 was CATO).  Tom Kinard flew his scratch-built Vipox (shown at the SoAR meeting) on an A8.  Eric Wilfert launched a Rocketarium  Turbo Vortico with a F15 and Michael made a couple of flights of his Vortico with a D16 all with great success and fun to watch.  [Some photos from the event]
