Doug fills out his flight card with his Crayon rocket... LOL
Bill S. walks by as Bill R. A.C.M.E. Spitfire launches on a D12. Turned in a perfectly straight flight!
Bill's ACME is also one of the most beautiful, hosting many battle scars including those earned while it sat in a tree for a weeks worth of rain and wind. Probably the most dilapidated rocket ever, simply adding to its charm!
Here is a tail end view of this ACME showing the level of damage this model has seen, yet still flies as well (or better) and any other rocket!
A beautiful scratch built beast from the mind of Tony Vincent using all Fliskits parts including a 24mm Deuce motor mount
My Diminutive Deuce ready for launch. A perfect flight too!
Scott Clement with his rubber chicken rocket. This freaky bird turned in a perfect flight. Only from the mind of Scott!
A proud Cheetah! owner shows off his handy work
One of the many high power flights we all got to enjoy this day.
Cheetah! on the pad (you can see an Alpha III over on pad 9
Bob's upscale Midnight Express rocket in the Tour de Deuce colors with a homemade 13mm Deuce mount to boot!
Doug gets ready to fly his Just Past Due when he forgets where he put the darned thing!
Cheetah away! A perfect 2-stage flight. Actually, we must have had 4-5 Cheetah! flights this day
One of three micro saucers based on the Triple Threat kit. These are downloadable for free build and fly great!
Doug's Just Past Due ready for flight. She turned in 2 great flights today!
An attempt at a drag race between two Laser X kits, but pad 1 didn't launch on the first attempt.
The yet to be announced Adfecta poised on the launch pad for her maiden flight.
We had a nice crowd throughout the day
Richter Recker away! Beautiful flight start to finish
An interesting angle for the Adfecta
Off she goes! One of my favorite features of this kit is the unique balsa adapter that this kit uses.
Here is a close-up of that adapter
She turns in a perfect flight and looked as good in the air as she does on my desk!
Doug poses with his Diminutive Deuce ready for launch
And I caught it too! Perfect flight. This picture gives a good indication of what some of the gusts were like as she weather-cocks into the wind.
Another micro-saucer ready to go. These beasts were quick off the pad, but only flew to about 25-30 feet. PERFECT for front yard rocketry!
Here is a modified Tres lofting on 2 of 3 motors. These motors are mounted at the mid point of the model producing a very interesting effect. In the case of this flight, she only had 2 motors burning and she also dragged the launch clip-whip up for the whole flight.
Daughter Jennifer weathering the cold for the sake of a good launch
I missed the launch photo, but here is a Drake kit after a great flight
Students loft an egg while Bill Ralston waits to launch is modified Rhino on an F motor... Bill had a perfect flight but lost his motor casing. I can not BELIEVE that he actually got the rocket back!
Another Cheetah! ready to go.
And go she does! Single stage, to keep from loosing her, but she performs great that way too.
Doug's Mars Lander begins a less than perfect flight, but she suffered minimal damage.
We even had cake! This was to celebrate a successful Level 2 attempt. Good cake too!
Scott Clement poses with his A.C.M.E. Spitfire decorated up as the "Tin Man". A mirror finish, top to bottom.
Here you can see the Tin Man's face.
And a tail photo reveals the Deuce mount making this a very unusual A.C.M.E. model. Scott didn't fly it this day due to the high winds.
Lastly, I flew my CAUTION rocket only to have the streamer and nose cone fail to eject, resulting in a lawn dart.
Ick.
