Twenty-one flyers showed up and put in 91 flights. Six flyers also took Part in our Viking contest, an informal streamer duration contest for stock Estes Viking kits. B motors were most popular, powering 29 flights, including The contest flights. There were 6 1/2A flights, 8 A's, 29 B's, 28 C's, 14 D's, 8 E's, and 6 F's. James Hollister was the most frequent flyer, with 13 flights ranging from 1/2A's up to his AT Mustang. Bill Hrach was next with 9 flights, and Rob Chapie and Tom McAtee had 8 each. Bill brought out a very nice Army Hawk model from the Launch Pad kit, but unfortunately damaged it in a crash. Rob had several good flights with his Giant Mosquito and a new Estes F-22 glider.
Chris Gillham had a new Fat Boy modified for D power, but the wind carried it away on its first flight. Chris had better success with his 24mm RMS, making a great first RMS flight with his V-3. Mark Henriksen put in a good flight with his original Wildfire on F power.
Michael Sears came out the victor in the Viking contest. Unfortunately, along with the thrill of victory, he suffered the agony of losing his altimeter later in the day, when a broken shock cord allowed his payload section to drift away. Rob Chapie and Bill Hrach's Estes Longshot drag race provided a spectacular finale, with both rockets roaring off the pad and staging together.
