My UFFO-24 (modified UFFO kit for 24mm) does great on an E9!

This boy just LOVES his Nomad!  His first flight attempt resulted in a CATO C11 motor in the first stage... No damage and he preped and flew it again!

Tres Bien.  John modified his Tres kit to have mid-body motor placement. Turns in a great flight every time!

Be still, my heart!  Here someone has shown up with their own design for a foam cup rocket!

Quick off the pad, but a bit wobbly as she curved and bent under boost, but stayed together.  Upon ejection, you saw the center of the rocket just melt away and separate.  You have GOT to use rear-ejection on these beasts!

Ick.  hard landing...

There she goes!  The Nomad on a C11-0/C6-0/A8-5 turns in a perfect flight and all parts are recovered!
p1010102.jpg (35737 bytes)
Deuce's Away!
p1010103.jpg (28458 bytes)

And a perfect, near-field recovery too!

Scott with one of his wackier designs... :)

My Decaffeinator on an E9 about 300 ms before the CATO.  The rocket is fine, but the motor core is toast.

Well, here she is blowing her stack!  Camman from The Rocketry Forum provided me with this incredible pix of the carnage.  Thank you!

The Mini-StarLight on a B6-4
p1010127.jpg (45792 bytes)
The NEMROC on a B6-4.  These two were my last flights of the day.  I tilted both pads properly and BOTH models proceeded to leave the pads in directions of their own choosing, sending them as far away as possible while still remaining on the field.

sheesh!
