The MttM Richter Recker (Bubble Burster) with the 3 micro motors in place.  I prepped this one at home so that I wouldn't have to contend with a micro cluster in the cold and wind.

These are the wired up igniters that I put together for this cluster.

Here it is all rigged up and ready to go.  Problem is, with the wind knocking it around this morning, the igniters became dislodged 3-4 times, so I kept having to re-install them anyway.

And here it is on the pad, ready to go!

And we have liftoff!  Perfect boost with all 3 motors burning...   ...Max altitude about 18 feet... LOL  The streamer barely had time to unfurl before it landed!

A Whatchamacallit drag race (we had several).  It was great to see.

The new Morning Star proto type that I hope to release this winter.

Simply BEAUTIFUL flight and landing.  This will be a wonderful sport model for A-C motors!

Someone's (help?) jet fighter takes to the air.

We even flew pumpkins!

My old Adfecta proto type ready for flight.  I first built this about 2 years ago.  On its 5th flight it suffered a cato and looked to be destroyed.  I never discarded it and checked it out last week only to discover that it was easily repairable.  So I repaired it and have put it into the rotation for a Dec/Jan release!

Beautiful flight on a C11-3 motor.  I haven't had the chance yet to fly it on E motors, but it goes great on C and D motors!

Even with the wind we got a great flight on a Cheetah! with a B6-0 to an A8-5 combination.  The booster landed in the launch area with the sustainer landing not far out side of it.

This young man showed up with this little scratchbuilt model (never even go the name).  The rocket looks like a ball of foil with a motor tube and rows of tooth picks for stability.  "Creativity" is the word for THIS!

While it has an *interesting* flight profile, it DID fly!
At this time my batteries were out so I didn't get any more pictures.  It was cold.  It was windy.  It was a good day of flying with my friends and club members at CMASS.  See you all in January!
