Default Naram 54...

Well,

NARAM 54 was great! It took 2 tries to recertify L1 (originally '95) but all went well: It's a
Semroc Brighton with a CTI H-54. There was either a drag seperation or short delay...
all was recovered by shredded 'chute and flutter recovery - NO damage other than the
stripped elastic at the shock cord mount. John Dyer (Red River Rocketry) and Matt Johnson
supplied the Kevlar and 5 min. epoxy in order to re-attach the shock cord.
The cert flight the next a.m. was perfect on a CTI H-90. 100 yard walk recovery!

Next is Elvis III. A 2 stage Mean Machine shortened by 18". D-12 to D12.

The first 2 Photos are by Chris Taylor, photographer beyond compare!

Here are a few other photos:

My friend Deb's first flight ever with a fly & take.

Sean and Brian Guzek's Astron Ranger entered in Classic.

p.s. Many thanks to Rob Dickinson, His Dad Bob, Rob's daughter Amanda,
Sean and Brian Guzek, and last but not least Steve Lubliner. Without them I'd been twisting in the wind!

Bob
p.s. tbc

Bob,

Many thanks. I remember you from the Enertek - Aerotech days from around
'90 or so. I worked at Bobbye Halls Hobby House in Dallas for 12+ years.

Bob
