Report From the March Hoschton Launch

Published on March 23, 2014

Jeff Coons compiled the flight cards from March 22 and gives us this report: “A huge variety of rockets filled the skies at Hoschton on a blue sky March afternoon. Member turn-out was good as the warm air, welcoming skies, and not-as-gentle-as-we-would-have-liked winds were all generally favorable. Most remarkable were the number and variety of scratch built rockets. Of the 155 total flights we saw 34 interesting scratch-built creations.

We also had a broad variety of motors used throughout the day, ranging from 1/2A3-2T up to G77-4F. There were a total of 6 flights on G motors and a whopping 20 total flights on various F motors, 27 flights on E motors, and 28 D motors, 25 Cs, 26 Bs, and 26 A motors. We also saw a variety of stages with one flight boosting with 3 (B6-0 / B6-0 / A8-3) as well as a few clusters.

Also of note were the 23 first flights (winter projects coming out) a few cameras were used, rocket boost R/C glider, some E-powered and G-powered spools, cones, and saucers. Variety was indeed the theme of the day!
