BlueSkies 26 Report
December 13, 2008

Not a bad day to fly a little windy but temps were decent.
Thanks to the folks that brought out gifts for the gift swap.

We had 6 fliers with 51 flights and 54 motors burned.
That gave us a total impulse of 1805.7ns that is a little more than a AT K805G.

Motor breakdown:

  • A - 14
  • B - 8
  • C - 10
  • D - 8
  • E - 7
  • F - 3
  • G - 2
  • H - 0
  • I - 2
