Sims Farm 1-3-09 Report
January 03, 2009

The day started out decent and got progressively worse.
We started flying about 11 and ended around 3 due to the sky opening up.
All in all it was a great day and good to be back at Sims farm.

We had 8 fliers with 23 flights and 25 motors burned.
That gave us a total impulse of 1696.7ns= that is a little more than a AMWK 570WW.

Motor breakdown:

  • A - 0
  • B - 1
  • C - 7
  • D - 4
  • E - 5
  • F - 1
  • G - 4
  • H - 2
  • I - 1
  • J - 0
