The weather had turned out nice again as it was a hot summers day. The wind was at its usual tricks making it a bit too windy for anything big or flying high, but this was fine for low power rockets. The usual rocketeers were there flying new and old rockets.
John Jacomb wins hands-down for the most rocket launches throughout the day which he is very consistent at doing. John launched all sorts of vehicles from scale models to some great novelty rockets, all of which made great flights, even better after some tweaking to one or two. Tony Betts and friends launched various rockets including rocket gliders. Tony is still proving to be a master at rocket powered gliders with a great flight that must of lasted four or five minutes, although proving to be a long walk to recover. Tony also launched some of his Physics Of Flight models that were great to see. Malcolm and Michael of Rockets and Things launched various low power models including an Estes Big Daddy and Mean Machine. Myself, well I played with D-motor clusters and staging CHAD style as usual although nothing too powerful this time as the recovery walks were getting to distant with the days wind. Gary Meakin |
