Ok, since we didn't do flight cards or anything, how bout we post our personal launches so that a formal report can be made, and collect the stats?
I'll start,
It was a great day and I can't wait to do it again! I am going to raid EVERY hobby shop in Orlando for AT motors and cheap Estes Bulk Packs.
A very warm "thanks" to Terry for putting this together...
Patrick - we really gotta start using flight cards, Excel shows neat things with data!
Excellent idea David...
As soon as more people post their launches, I will gather them all up and try and make a readable report...
SInce this was our 1st get to know/get to gether fun fly, I just decided we would dispense with the flight cards for this go round...next time and at future launches we will use flight cards and keep a flight log so we can doucment our flights for online reports,etc..
I do know I am the 1st person to lose a rocket....
regards,
Terry Dean
I just want to say a great big THANK YOU to all that were able to attend the 1st Bluegrass Rocketry Society Fun Fly/Sport Launch.
The following people attended:
Not a bad turnout for a 1st folks....thank you all!!!
In addition to all the above great people, we were presented with a soaring lesson from the local "chickenhawk" population who like to thermal soar at this launch site....
Although the winds were up to maybe 10-15mph, I was the only person to lose a rocket on a D12-5..... and the only person to have a unstable rocket....hmmmmm back to the drawing board..
For all those that wanted to attend but were unable, better make plans NOW for our next launch at the Sims Farm , our 1st HPR Sport Launch/Demo...due sometime in the next month... I will do my best to try and give more than a weeks notice, and maybe we can get an additional 10 people at this one...that would be almost 25 people!!.
WOW....Rocketry is alive and well in My Old Kentucky Home...
A SUPER BIG THANKS to David Logan for bringing up all his launch equipment which all worked perfectly and the Stevens brothers for bringing their GSE too....Without you guys this would All have been alot harder..
Ok folks....lets get those HIJK models built for our next launch, the BIG HPR demo/sport launch at the Sims Farm....
Again A Big Thanks to ALL for making our 1st launch a big success!
regards,
Terry Dean Proud Pres of BluesRockS
I would bet much more.
Between David, his daughter and myself we had 15
launches.
Bobby and Graham put up 6 easy, heck, Graham got 4 launches from the rocket I gave him so they may have more!
Pictures will have to wait until I get back from Orlando. We are leaving Tuesday morning and returning the following Monday.
Please refrain from emailing me pictures until I get back. Adelphia will shut down my account if it hits 5M and then there will be pictures bouncing all over the place d8^) <<<<<< that's a rocketeer with his goggles and hard hat on!
Everybody have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Patrick - pass the turkey, please...
I wanted to take the time to say thanks to the group and all who
helped me and my son--Christian this past saturday.
I truly enjoyed myself and learned alot from just talking to the members present.
Christian got a big bang out of flying his rocket and wearing out the
hay bales.
He slept well on the trip to Radcliff......
We look forward to more great days like that and continued learning.
