Was great to get back out to BattlePark after having both flying weekends cancelled in January. While the weather on February 14th was really fantastic, low wind and plenty of warm sunshine, so much so that a light jacket was all that was needed in the afternoon, the mud was not. Was one of the muddiest days on record as the warm temperatures quickly thawed the ground and melted the remaining snow. If you stood in one place for too long you could feel yourself begin to sink in. All that said, 41 flights took to the skies. The end of the month saw some equally good weather, and thankfully MUCH less mud. Winds came up later in the day on Sunday March 1st but the weekend of February 28th and March 1st saw over 100 flights from A to M power. February also saw a record number of recovery system ground or “pop” tests with over 50 conducted. Full flight statistics and pictures below.

Saturday February 14th: 20 low-power and mid-power flights with 21 high-power

Saturday February 28th: 57 low-power and mid-power flights with 41 high-power

Sunday March 1st: 17 low-power and mid-power flights with 19 high-power

Great liftoff from the low power rack
