I went out and flew some rockets for the first time since last July this past Saturday. We had some great weather for a change.

I saw Phred post on OldRockets about him flying original OOP kits. I always do the same. Here's a list of what I flew:

Big Bertha (late 60's vintage with balsa cone)
Citation Patriot
Manta Bomber
Astron Space Man
Greyhawk
Der Red Max
Der V3
Fat Boy (ok, not OOP but modified to fly on composite 18mm with G10 fins)
Maniac

Here's a couple pictures of some of the rockets. I drag raced my Manta Bomber with another members Photon Disruptor as well. I tossed in some pics of Kurt Schachner's Farside as well. Flew nice on a B14-0 to A8-0 to I think a 1/2A6-4. The launch pic of the Farside is with a shutter speed of 1/640th of a second. You can tell it is really cranking on that B14 since it is still blurred at that fast of a shutter.

Lastly, a pic of another members (Walt Evans) scratchbuilt rocket. It was flying on a cluster of 3 E9's, but only two lit. No, there's no need to adjust the orientation of that photo. That is how it flew. Cool, hey?
