Our regular monthly launch was Saturday, October 27, from noon till 5 PM. Next launch is scheduled for November 24.
Notam: !DCA 10/382 LVL AIRSPACE AIRSPACE UNMANNED ROCKET 1NMR LVL323027.2 6600/BLW WEF 1210271600-1210272200
We had very strong easterly winds, which blew several rockets past the western fence into the trees and blackberries. The 3 G flights were all lost, but after much searching I found my Talondrome in the middle of a blackberry thicket. I came away much scratched from the stickers, but it was worth it. Tim and Floyd both lost mid-power rockets. Time for level 1?
We had 13 flights in total. Four were initially lost, but two of these were later found. Otherwise, good flights all around from A8 to G79.
