I wasn't there but Dave Seer another club member took some great photos. Check these two out:

That second picture should be title "Attack of the Clones". :)

The blue 2-stage payloader looks like the Estes Apogee II, or possibly an upscale clone.

So, who is winning the drag race? The FireFly seems to be passing the Apogee II, but being shorter, is still a nose behind :confused: BTW, the Semroc FireFly was mine & the Apogee II clone was David Seers. Now if I could just figure out a way to keep those booster fin 'pods' (toothpicks) from breaking *every* time.

Very cool photos.

Scott, you really need to go out and burn some newton seconds. ;)
