BlueSkies 18 Report
November 10, 2007

Well we could not have asked for much better weather for November.
We had almost no wind to speak of, clear blue skies, mild temps, and a great group of rocketeers.

Fliers and their birds:

We had 9 fliers with 50 flights and 53 motors burned.
That's a flight every 5 to 6 minutes.
Total impulse for the day was 3139.1 ns which is equivalent to about a 75MM AMW L777WW.

Motor break down:

  • A - 1
  • B - 2
  • C - 20
  • D - 6
  • E - 8
  • F - 6
  • G - 5
  • H - 2
