NCR Club Launch - April 2008

Saturday April 5th, 2008

Launch Summary

Regularly schedueld club launch.  Thanks to Ken Plattner for towing out the equipment trailer and to Ed Dawson for towing it home.  42 flyers put up 96 flights with Roman Perincheril and Dennis Billings leading the way with seven each.  Notable flights include three certifications that I am aware of - L1 to William Taylor, L2 to Dennis Billings and L3 to Mike Konshak.  Flights will be listed in random order as the launch cards have been sorted and shuffled a few times eliminating the correct sequence of the events.  Motor usage breaks down as follows, with staged flights and clusters credited to the largest motor used. 1/4 A's=1, A's= 6, B's=13, C's=20, D's=1, E's=5, F's=8, G's=12, H's=6, I's=10, J's=10, K's=2 L's=1 and M's=1.

Weather Conditions

Another stunning day on the praiire.  Beautiful clear skies, temperatures reaching into the sixties and fairly calm winds until early afternoon.  Expected nasty winds rolled in shortly after three and we called it a day.
