The last launch of the season is one many of our member look forward too. Three full days of flying along with the Battle of the Rocket competition bring out lots of rockets and plenty of excitement. Unfortunately this year the weather, much like it did most all season, did not cooperate. The forecast was clear for all three days, but the wind was out in full force with periotic gusts of over 40MPH! Friday saw few flights due to the wind, with many more on Saturday and Sunday. Gotta hand it to the BattlePark flyers however, they showed up and managed to get nearly 200 rockets in the air powered by motors from 1/2A to M power. We also had 22 Tripoli Level 1 and Level 2 certification attempts with 17 taking place on Sunday! Details and pictures below:
Friday April 12: 11 Low and Mid-Power flights, and 9 High-Power flights
Saturday April 13: 31 Low and Mid-Power flights, and 21 High-Power flights
Sunday April 14: 55 Low and Mid-Power flights and 50 High-Power flights.
Our next launch is scheduled for February 8th and 9th! The range opens at 10:00 both days, see you then!
