Bill,

Great pcitures of your day at the B6-4 Field. My flying luck seems to be following your style of flying ...

I went to the CRASH launch in Denver last Sunday, and with all the nice tall grass, I managed to bring down 2 rockets in the dirt/gravel areas.

One was the maiden flight of an old Orbital Transport, and a fin snapped off, but I've glued it back on. The glider flew smoothly around and landed in the grass, unscathed. Another was a scratch-built that landed in gravel just at the edge of the launch area, missing the grass by about a foot. I flew it on a C6, but a bit too heavy and probably would have gotten enough altitude on a D12 to drift to the grassy areas. I've since modified it for 24mm.

And finally, my Cherokee-D had too much chute for the D12 flight, but recovered just fine, although almost a two mile hike to retrieve it, due to walking clear around a keep-out area at the site.

But I missed the trees!
