NCR Club Launch - Mile High Mayhem 6 Day 2

Saturday May 3rd, 2008

Launch Summary

Regularly scheduled Regional launch.   Early Saturday morning saw a flurry of activity from lots of folks and by eight AM the waiver and range was ready to go.  111 flyers put up 290 flights.  Huge thanks go out to all of our volunteer LCO's and RSO's, illegible scribblers that you are.  Steven Rhodes took advantage of the day with ten flights, chased by Geof Givens with eight.  Notable flights have to inlcude the 10 different Cert flights, the four CROCS Challenge entries, lots of high altitude boosts, upscaled rockets, high powered clusters, big staged projects and everything else that flew.  Space is limited here - watch the web for a news recap and an article in Extreme Rocketry soon.  Flights are listed in a random order as the launch cards have been shuffled and sorted too many times.  Motor usage breaks down as follows, with staged and clusters credited to the largest motor used.  1/2 A's = 2, A's= 9, B's= 18, C's= 62, D's= 21, E's= 19, F's= 29, G's= 45, H's= 26, I's= 23, J's= 19, K's= 10, L's= 4, and M's= 2. 

Weather Conditions

Absolutely perfect weather for multiple unmanned rocket launches.  Just a tickle of a breeze and temperatures reaching into the sixties for the best part of the day.  Calm evening winds and comfortable campfire temperatures before quiet hours and much appreciated sleep.
