Chilly Day in Florida

Only 85 degrees this morning, 90% humidity.
The Mosquito of choice to start things off was 4 Mosquito on its 5th flight. Saw the ascent and the tracking smoke, then nothing.
Recovery Commander Sandy made quick work of finding it, though.

Next, also for flight #5, the Hercules. Perfect staging and recovery. Love it.

Next, the first of three first flights. The Semroc Mini-Centurian. Great flight.

Final Flight of the day. Sizzler clone, B6-4. Great flight wraps up a 5-5 day, which I never had when I played baseball.

Before leaving, I did a walk around the facility to pick up any remnants of the day. Found a couple of old mini-engines left by someone else, and some other "rocket" material...

I had hopes to fly this weekend, but I wrestled with a flat tire on Friday instead. Glad to see someone punching skyward. Closest I came to rocketry related other than painting and filleting this weekend was ordering a new pocket camera with burst capability from my company rewards program. Not sure what I did right, but I swear I'll try to keep doing it. Thanks for reminding me why I build. :cool:
