Saturday isn't looking too good so we'll postpone until Sunday the 21st for our launch in Amesbury.
Wow, what a day! Nice weather, great turnout and cake. This was the annual Fliskits anniversary launch and as usual, Jim picked up the cost of the field rental and provided cake. It was a perfect day for flying. At times there was absolutely no wind. This proved to be a big plus for the high power flyers who flew high and had their chutes come out at apogee. Howard landed two rockets on the field! Jim had several raffle drawings throughout the day and organized a couple of drag races. The sky was full of Frik-n-Frak parts. In all there were over 350 flights which made for a busy day for the range crew. Even the food service crew was overworked. By the end of the day there was absolutely nothing left to eat or drink. Our usual high power vendor couldn't make it but Rick from Wildman CT was able to come up and fill the void. CATO Chutes also came up from CT. In a rare concentration of rocketry power the presidents of MMMSC, RIMRA, CATO, and CMASS were present and we all got to fly. There are pictures in the gallery and on TRF .
