BlueSkies 15 Report
July 14, 2007

Well it was a great day to fly rockets.
It started out with just me and joe. About noon more people showed.
We ended up with 10 people 4 in attendance and 6 fliers.
Sorry I forgot the raffle tickets. We'll hold our Wildman raffle on the 11th.

We had 6 flyers with 38 flights and 48 motors burned. That's a flight every 12 minutes.
Total impulse for the day was 906.32 N-S which is equivalent to an EM J148-L 54mm.

  • 1/4A - 1
  • A - 5
  • B - 7
  • C - 14
  • D - 11
