I have some more that I will put up later.

It was a little windy out on the range today.

Yes it was a little windy. I was going to put up my Thor upscale but did not for two reasons. 1. The wind. 2. After getting the thing together it was clear it did not fit as it used too. With that said it is going up probably for good.

The booster is in good shape but the nine feet of air frame is loose. I think the moister we had in the basement this year from adding a crawl space has effected things more that I thought. Most of my rockets, I am having to ‘refit’ everything.

Now. A good day for flying all in all. We had to walk a little but had some
real good flight.

Sunday there will be at least one ‘M’ flight

Here are my shots for the day.

Boy did Sunday look like great weather. I had showed up, was there ten minutes and got called away.

What did I miss?

and I thought your phone didn’t work once you’re down in the hollow? (nudge, nudge, wink, wink…)

Anyhow there were some major flights including a really pretty L-3 cert flight on a big rocket that was easy to follow through the entire flight. Pretty.

Wind calmed down a bit, but 10,000 ft flights were being blown a mile out for me.

Thanks for the help and pictures.

Yes, an awesome weekend! I’ll get launch logs posted soon. Congrats to Kevin Farrell, new club member, on his L1, and to Bob Wood for his L3. And huge respect for James Russell, the new Tripoli Rocket Association’s TAP Chairperson.
