A great day for flying.

My 14X Swift launched pretty well. A few seconds after the two
J285s kicked in, the air flow became too much for the long fins.

They flapped one to many times and desintegrated. The fins
broke in half both directions. Cross grain. And the plywood
seperated.

Was a way cool flight. All the important parts survived.

There were a number of fires. Fire crews were busy all
day.

Here are some pics of day two.

We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
