BlueSkies 99 Report
November 7, 2015
Highland Sod Farm
Elizabethtown, KY
It was a cold windy morning with overhanging clouds that dissipated into clear skies, warmer temps in the high 50's and lower winds less than 6 mph. Had to wear a heavy woolen shirt, gloves and stocking cap at the start of the launch. After the sun came out and the wind died down a little the shirt had to come off. It actually got hot.
We had 6 fliers with 19 flights on 24 motors burned. The total impulse was 2683 N-sec. (GR L695) .
