BlueSkies 83 Report
August 23, 2014


It was a hot and humid day to fly. Lots of water and shade were needed for the day and sharing of pop-ups eased the conditions for those who were without. Light winds and Mostly Overcast Skies clearing later to partly cloudy were not a problem since the cloud cover was high enought not to interfer with the flights.

We had 6 fliers with 27 flights on 29 motors burned. The total impulse was 5435.5 N-sec. (CTI M2250) .

    It was a great day to fly rockets as long as you paced your self and was prepared for the heat. Several groups left a few hours after flying and I hope all had a good time. A lot of great flights were launched today. Why not come out to our next Sod Farm launch in September.

    Our next Sport launch is scheduled for September 13th at Sod Farm .
