| CMASS 4/30 launch |
![]() Two young boys proudly display their FarScape (Night Whisper) and Deuce's Wild! kits just before launch |
![]() And we have LIFTOFF! The Decaffeinator turns in a perfect flight on a C11-3. I didn't dare go with a larger motor with the way the wind was blowing. |
![]() Perfect recover too, just a short walk from the field. |
![]() Very nice sport scale model that was essentially scratch built using the Launch Pad kit as a guide. |
![]() Close up of the burn. The weather was not good and it was hard to get good pictures, but this is one of them :) |
![]() The Corona Extra, the Corona kit with a special booster attached. |
![]() And off she goes! Boosted with a B6-0 with an A8-5 sustainer, she boosted straight and true with separation at about 100 feet. The booster separated and tumbled nicely to the ground while the sustainer went to a great altitude. I had to hike over 1/4 mile to recover this beauty! |
![]() A Praetor gets a ride on a C6-5 |
![]() Doug poses with my newest design. No name yet, so I called her "What the heck is that", only so that the LCO would have to call out "What the heck is that, on pad 1!"... |
![]() And she flies perfectly on a C6-3 motor! |
![]() A snarled parachute resulted in a hard landing causing the hoop to pop off. This was also due to poor glue joints (i have GOT to make the time for proper construction!) |
![]() Here is my Sprint-'73 on her 475th flight. I had intended to fly her 5-10 times today, but the weather was just TOO wet and I was afraid she'd get ruined. Perfect flight too. |
![]() The last launch I photographed today was a Deuce's Wild! kit. Against the overcast sky, she produces a beautiful flame! |
