Little Joe II (A3-4T) Nice flight. Good straight flight. Scaffolding portion of Nose Cone came loose. Model landed on pavement with minimum damage.

Joe Magginnis	7	Silver Streak (1/2A3-4T) Good flight. Launched model with small parachute to determine upper winds. Ejection charge was not powerful enought to eject the parachute and it tumbled to the ground. No Damage and not able to determine strength of upper winds. EX-299 (A10-3T) Nice Straight high flight. Streamer ejected at apogee and model was recovered without damage. Witchcraft (C6-3) Great flight. Wind caused the model to drift just short of the playground to the West of the launch site. Model recovered by Jeff deDoming's daughter. Thanks for the recovery help. Mongoose (C6-0/C6-7) Maiden flight of the model was perfect. Booster was recovered by Jeff Caldwell (Thanks Jeff for tracking and recovery) and the upper stage was recovered from the middle of the weed patch North of the launch site. Found about 8 golf balls during recovery. Cloud Warrior (B14-0/C6-7) Good flight straight up. The B14-0 was manufactured 7-2-70 and performed beautifully. The upper stage continued to apogee arched over and the ejection charge fired releasing the streamer. The upper stage was recovered a few feet shy for the field fence West of the launch site. Thanks again Jeff for recovering the booster. Noticed the aft end of the booster is starting to get soft from the exhaust gases. Model requires a miner fin repair due to breakage during motor removal. Mongoose (C6-0/C6-73x C6-3) Nice Straight high flight with great booster separation. Upper stage landed just South of the playground West of the launch site and the booster landed Northeast of the launch site just short of the Frisby basket. I recovered the upper stage and with Darryls instructions was able to recover the booster. No Damage. Silver Streak (A10-3T) Nice Flight with a recovery just slightly West of the launch site.
Matt Magginnis	4	Interceptor (C6-5) Good Flight No Name (E9-6) This model had a camera payload. Flight had a little spin and a good recovery. Jeff played back the video. Scratch Built (F40-7) Great Liftoff. Lots of noise and exhaust smoke. LOC IV (2 x E9-6 & 2 x D12-0) All engines ignited and was quite impressive. Nice Flight Jeff.
Nathan Armehtrat	2	Blue Angel (G106 SK) Great loud sparky lift-off. Just shortly after apogee the motor was ejected from the mount and caused the model to come in ballistic. Model buried itself into the hard clay pack. Darryl was able to dig out the upper body tube but the nose cone was broken off and remained buried. The tracker was recovered but not sure if it still worked. Sizzler (C6-7) A minimum diameter rocket which flew really high. Model was recovered.
