NCR Club Launch - Mini-Mayhem - Day 1 2013

Friday May 3rd, 2013

Launch Summary

Regularly scheduled club launch.  Thanks to Mike Shinn for outstanding Recon work and towing both ways.  Recent snow falls had us push back range set up till Friday morning.  Snotty mud getting in but clearing skies and warmer temps brought about an awesome transformation.  18 flyers put up 55 flights - 30 Class 1 and 25 Class 2 - after we got the range going about 11 AM.  Notable flights include the first of many Spiderman Rocket launches by Jack Wranosky, Ron Dresher's Deltie Thunder Boost Glider flights of 53 and 56 seconds, and Scott's Krestrel window shot to 25,344' on an L935 Imax load.  Flights are listed in a random order and motor usage breaks down as follows: 1/2 A's=5, no A's, 1 B, C's=5, D's=3, E's=5, F's=1, G's=10, H's=8, I's=10, J's=5 no K's, 2 L's.
