BlueSkies 58 Report
June 9, 2012


Today is the second launch of the year at the ADC Park. There was a lot of ball being played along with others enjoying the park . I got there at 9:45 and left at 3:30. The very slight winds were blowing from the South West to South allowing us to shoot higher without disrupting other activities.

We had 3 fliers with 24* flights and 25* motors burned. The total impulse was 401.1 N-sec. (I599N Aerotech)*.
*Without Patrick's Motor Information

    Note: Patrick Peterson flew his gliders several times but I do not have the information to add to this report

    We still has some motor packs available for $3.00 a pack. That's a far cry from the current retail prices. See Dennis Stevens for purchases.

    Our next launch is scheduled for July 14th at ADC Park. Come and have fun. Hope to see ya all then.

    Stay tuned to this web site for launch schedule updates.
