67 degrees in mid November? I wore a T-shirt all day! Beautiful clear skies with a light wind form the southwest.
There wasn't really a theme for this launch but there were planned events: The Fat Boy drag race and the Stomp Rocket drag race.
The launch was only from 10am to 1pm so I was a bit rushed since of course I did prepare anything head of time. I also LCO'd the last rack.
My Flight Results:
| Owner | Rocket | Engine | Notes | Alt | Results |
| Jeff | Centuri Taurus | Quest C6-5 | 500 | Delay a bit long, esp since aimed into breeze but recovered nicely. | |
| Jeff | Completely Cardboard | Estes D12-3 | 500 | Perfect, but I was planning to photograph the Mosquito when this launched instead. The leads were crossed out at the pads. | |
| Jeff | Clone Estes Mosquito | Quest MicroMaxx | Ejectable pod | 40 | Perfect |
| Jeff | Mk1 Mod 1 Stomp Rocket | Quest C6-5 | Drag Race!
BOINK recovery. |
500 | Awesome simultaneous liftoff of 8 Stomp Rockets. Someone had a two stage even. I couldn't tell which was mine in the ensuing shower of rockets and spent motors. |
| Jeff | Bic Arcas | Quest MicroMaxx 1/8A | Tiny chute | 60 | Perfect launch and deployment. Might have got a photo (Kerry tried too). |
| Jeff | Completely Cardboard | Aerotech E28T-4 RMS | 1000 | Beautiful launch and deployment. Drifted behind houses north of field and was not found. |
