A FlisKits Night Whisper ready for flight
The Sprint'73 on her 496th flight!
A shot of the FlisKits and SEMROC booths
The painted Rock Star on a great flight with a C11-5
The Decaffeinator on a D12-3 with a foam glider attached. First flight stalled a lot and I recovered the glider in the short grass. Someone suggested I add nose weight which I did. Next flight the glider just kept climbing until we lost sight...
The Dudley Do-Right getting ready for her first of 4 flights. I didn't get any good launch pictures, but they are out there and I will post them here when I can. This is just before we raised her into launch position
One of SO many people who signed the Dudley Do-Right befor her many flights. It has become a great memento for me

Floating down after an incredible flight, the 16" parachute is DWARFED by the Dudley Do-Right, yet it was the perfect sized parachute for this rocket!

On the ground with only minimal damage, this we repaired in less than 10 minutes to fly again the next day!

Now, do I look happy in this picture? Gee, I wonder why!

For an 18.5 foot rocket, even a gentle landing can crack a glue joint or two. Perfect flight and landing on 4 D12-3 motors.
Steve Carr's Little Joe II on a perfect flight with an F40-4
A beautiful shot of someone's Tres taking to the air on 3 C6-5 motors!

A picture of Dudley Do-Right with all of the signatures she has received
A close-up of some of the signatures. Folks were having a ball becoming a part of this beasts launch!
Scott McNeely's upscale A.C.M.E. Sptifire. Scott would later cert L1 with this model!
Gordon (sandman) with is Baby-Bertha/Little Joe II kit-bash. Very kewl!
My 13mm "Deuce of Hazzard" with only one motor burning. The igniter in the other motor was broken.

Scott and Jim pose with the upscale A.C.M.E. Spitfire
We had the misfortune of a grass fire that was quickly extinguished.
By the time the Fire Department showed up, all was under control. They watered down the hot spots and offered to fill our water containers with potable water.
The pups at the SEMROC booth (our neighbors at NARAM and very close friends) Gizmo (the brown Yorky) and Beans
Now, if THIS don't melt your heart, nothing will!
The FlisKits booth has a moment of quiet in the middle of the day
As does SEMROC
Family members from around the country joined Jim and Kathy Flis and enjoyed the launches a great deal!
Whew, tough to catch, this is our Micromaxx version of the Deuce's Wild! kit called the "Diminutive Deuce" under full burn with a cluster of 2 MMX motors!
A very rare OverDue kit takes to the air
A stunningly creative futuristic scratch built model
Many launches and a whole lot of fun this week so far!
My naked Tri-Glide puts in a great flight
