Here are the rest of the statistics from our Sunday 10/22/00 launch.
(see attachment - please fill in any missing data.  Also, did you have
any first flights?)

   28 total flights:
        2 MicroMaxx,
        2 A10-3T's,
        1 A8-3
        2 B4-2,
        1 B4-4,
        1 B4-6
        5 B6-4,
        3 C5-3
        2 C6-3,
        2 C6-5,
        1 D12-5,
        1 D13-4W RMS 18mm
        2 D15-4W RMS,
        1 E11-3J
        2 E15-5W su

Plus two H20 pop bottle launches.

Maiden voyages:
   Jeff's scratch-built Mosquito clone (with the extra nice paint
finish)
   Jeff's scratch-designed and built Bic Pen (a real Bic Pen with a
MicroMaxx 5mm motor and parachute recovery)
   Jeff's 18mm Aerotech Reloadable(RMS) motor (awesome!)

One rocket, John's Estes RTF, was lost due to high deployment on an
oversized chute.  It drifted into a residential area.

Three had shock cord failures (if you include Glen's not being connected
:)
        Jeff's Mars Snooper was damaged on its second flight (one broken fin).
Elastic cord burned through.
        TJ's Renegade broken fin.  Elastic cord burned through.

One over-powered glider-booster shredded the glider.

Several partial chute malfunctions but no damage due to that cause.  One
was Chris's Gemini DC that on it's 3rd flight had one of the two chutes
fail - hard landing but survived.

What went well:
1. Angling launch rod into the wind.  We had pretty good landing
accuracy.

2. Ignitors/motors: No miss-fires or ejection failures.

3. Safety checking the less experienced members rockets before launch
(discovered a jammed chutes, tangled lines, insecure shock cord mounts,
bent motor mounts, etc)

4. In general all was pretty smooth

5. Jeff's first RMS motor launch.

6. New guests/members Glen and Chris

Lessons for next time:
0. Buy engines/parts several days before launch day or will miss half
day waiting for store to open (Hub opens at noon on Sunday, Ray!).

1. Parachute packing lessons for everyone.

2. Don't overpower or underpower the rocket:
   a. launch an Estes Mosquito with an A10-3T and it is GONE!
   b. a Centuri Dactyl on an A10-3T shreds glider.
   c. Glen's Mr. Postman on a C5 barely reached safe deployment
altitude.

3. Use kevlar string leader on shock cord to avoid melt through. Make
sure it is securely attached!

4. Recovery crews and observers need to accurately report what they see
and not distract other observers with wishful thinking or guesses about
where a rocket is/went.

5. Need more fence sticks and stakes for crowd-control banner tape.

6. A wheeled cart would be nice to carry launch equipment to site.

7. Jeff needs his own needle-nose pliars and something to clean RMS
engine cases (isopropyl alcohol?).

8. Match chute size to rocket weight and wind conditions.  John's rocket
was actually seen rising in gusts before it was lost.

Overall, a great day!  We even recovered John's parachute & nosecone
from a tree where it was stuck last month.
