It was a busy day on both the competition and sport ranges.
FAI flyoffs for team selection was occurring on the competition range. The sport range started off slow then the flying picked up. Busy, busy. Largest motors flown were 'K'. I had three successful flights. My forth flight resulted in the destruction of my Estes PSII E2X Mammoth model. The heat caused the black colored nose cone shoulder to expand while it sat on the pad. The ejection charge fired but the model went in nose first. The top two inches of the body tube were still stuck around the nose cone shoulder after impact. The sky was somewhat overcast which dropped the temperature compared to Friday.

I guess not just the human participants, but also the rocket ones need to be aware of the effects of the heat out there.

Really good day of competition in the FAI fly offs. Weather started out quite calm in the morning but then very windy by the afternoon.
Bob (Initiator001) did a great job of hosting the manufacturers forum tonight. Lots of interesting stuff talked about but I had to miss part of it so I will let Bob fill in the details. |

Are the scores being posted anywhere? The results link from naram57.org is 404.
I'm curious about how those two-stage egg lofters were doing vs. more conventional ones. naramlive pics seem to be going up at about the normal rate. The Wednesday ones were done this morning.
