Jeff’s February Mill Springs Report

Published on February 15, 2015

Despite an accurate forecast of steady winds with gusts up to twenty MPH we had twenty-six participants come out to accomplish a total of fifty-six launches. The winds gusting down the length of the field at Mill Springs helped to keep most recoveries a minimal concern; although sometimes a bit of a walk for those whose rockets were reaching higher altitudes. Motor selection included nine A series, twenty-four B, twelve C, eight D, and three E motors. Of special note we had Steve Bellio complete an impressive launch of a Nike Smoke on an E30-4T and Eva flew a beautifully finished new Estes Conquest on a D12-3. Kevin Boyd had a number of artfully finished rockets and he also took many photographs during the event. We saw many new faces that came out to enjoy the sunny day and moderate temperatures for this middle of winter event.
