Event 10/27/01: MASA Rocket Launch at Blaine, MN
 

The theme for this event was "Clusters".    I flew only one clustered rocket, the Upscale MicroMaxx Mosquito.

Still kind of tired from my long trip, I didn't really fly much.  Mediocre performace and one truely stupid mistake.

My Flight Results:
