Launch Reports
 
Launch Report for Saturday, 05/06/2000
Sunny skies once again shinned down on us. With temperatures in the 80's
and a little bit of wind, 21 flyers launched 46 rockets for a perfect day!
We had some great cluster flights and THREE Level 1 certification flights.
Mike Bear drove all the way from Weston, OH to renew his membership AND
get his Level 1 certification. Mike few an original 4", 7x upscale Mosquito
on a 29mm, H-128-S for a picture perfect flight. Congratulations Mike!
Randy Jenkins, (Chip's brother), drove up from Orrville, OH to join our
ranks as a Sky Buster and also get his Level 1 certification. Randy flew his
"Brutus" on a 38mm, H-73-S for a beautiful and smokey flight.
Congratulations Randy on your L-1 certification AND also on becoming our
newest member. Next time you see Randy, please welcome him to our family.
Chris Burke made his Level 1 certification with a PML AMRRAM 3 and a
29mm, H-242-10 flight. Another great flight. Congratulations Chris!
Marty "I have to start launching more than one rocket per day" Dorociak
brought his scratch built "Laser Sonic 4.0" for a flight on an I-211. Marty
started to prep his "baby" and found that he had left the shock cord at home!
After a long drive home and back, he picked up where he left off in the prep
work. Marty made a great flight with perfect dual deployment recovery. The
main chute opened at 600 feet as planned.
G. Wayne Edwards made an excellent cluster flight with 5, D-12's in his
4" Multi-Motor Madness"! All motors ignited as planned for a great flight.
Jacob Hahn flew his TE Apponica on 4, C-6-4's for a perfect flight and
recovery.
George Christ launched his "Not-So-Big Bertha" on 3, C-6-7's. The flight
was great but, if I remember correctly, "Bertha" got lost in the sun and
could not be found. Sorry George.
A great time was had by all. Many youngsters were present to catch the
ROCKET bug. Mike Bear made the most flights with 6. May you be happily
infected for years to come!
