Next was my old Big Bertha that I can't lose or destroy...well completely destroy. It has experienced a couple CATO's over the decades. It went up on a C6-5 and came back on a 12" chute. It landed on the school roof, but was undamaged.





Next up was the high flight of the day. This is a rocket made of junk E2X fin cans and a length of aluminized tubing. It went up on a B6-0 to C6-7 combination and recovered on an 8 ft crepe streamer. I used a B6-0 booster for two reasons. I wanted it to stage low enough that the kids could see it well...and I didn't have any C6-0 motors.





Last was Katie's Mean Machine painted in her favorite shade of orange.





Last but not least is Katie. She graduated top 5 and plans to follow Kody to Tennessee Tech and major in engineering.
