So the last few flights were all experienced rockets.

My nephew's Scout Viking on A8-5 was off without incident. But that little streamer just isn't going to cut it and will be replaced with maybe a 9" chute next time.

Both my dad and my nephew brought their Alway/BMS Arcas rockets. Both launched on A3-4T and recovered a little long as the breeze had freshened and there was some drift. I wish they'd do another run of these; they are good flyers and fun, simple builds.

Last was my Black Hole Space Probe clone with Semroc parts. Strangely, the mylar parachute didn't fully deploy until just before impact but the ground was fairly soft so no damage. The picture is a pretty good panarama of our park.

By this time, the breeze was too strong to have recovery within the park so we packed it up. I'll have some other stuff for first flight soon including my first 29mm rocket, an Enerjet Aero-Dart.
