Acton Winter Carnival-Sparky Motor Flies! |
 Several CMASS members attended the Acton Winter Carnival on February 6 to man a table and provide a demonsration night launch, Like the January Acton launch it was cold but this time there was no sun so it felt much colder. While we were setting the launch pads it was mentioned that Jason had a sparky G that would look nice at night. Looking down at the completely brown grass we decided that the fire hazard was too great. However, we also noticed that there was a frozen pond not too far away. It took 100 feet of wire to get it far enough from shore. We flew 8 rockets in 15 minutes and all were recovered successfully. There are some pictures in the gallery and a video on YouTube .

January 9, 2009 Winter Follies Acton Launch |
|
At least twenty people (there were that many cars) showed up for our fourth annual winter launch. In spite of temperatures in the mid twenties and brisk winds we still got 43 rockets in the air in 3 hours. There are photos in the Gallery.

November 21, 2009 Amebury Launch |
 The launch was a fine ending for the 2009 flying season. The low turnout was surprising considering the wasn't excessively cold or windy but we still got in around 180 flights during the daytime part of the launch and another dozen at night. The night launch was once again a lot of fun. There a pictures here and I'm sure there will be more when people get around to posting them. Now it's time to start working on NARCON and winter building projects.
