Launch Report from Roy

Published on January 19, 2015

We did indeed have a launch at Mill Springs Academy on Saturday the 24th, with about a dozen people showing up to brave the temperature and the wind. The school that was going to be there did not come due to the wind, and we’ll reschedule them for a later launch, but those that did show up had a pretty decent day despite the wind.  By the time I left we had only one or two rockets that were lost due to wind, and one boost glider that splashed down in the drainage lake, but was retrieved.  Dan McMahill and family returned after being absent a year or so and flew a few odd rockets, including one that looked to me like Tom Servo from the old Mystery Science Theatre 3000 show.  We didn’t bother with flight cards or record keeping today, so I have no idea how many rockets were flown, but I’m thinking close to forty by the time I left at 3:30PM.

Next launch at Mill Springs is on Valentine’s Day.  Hope the weather starts to get warmer by then!
