They actually did stop and watch the flight that recovered on the infield. No applause or anything, but they didn't try to pick it up and stuff it in a trash can like the dog park people did years ago. I consider that acceptance.

I had quite a few left in the box that didn't get flown. This could easily have been a 20 flight afternoon. Several had issues that kept them from flying. The Der V-1.5 had a fin that the glue had softened on and bent when I flew in 90+ degree temps with the club a few weeks back. The Nomad had lost one of the launch lugs and the Vega had no dog barf. I had the Snipe Hunter, the WAC Corporal and the VF-261 ready to go if the field stayed empty.

I noticed that FlightSketch still has the Snipe Hunter in stock if anyone wants to purchase one instead of searching eBay for it.

I think the Der V-1.5 was another of Carl's "throw ins". I never bought it and for the longest time I couldn't bring myself to paint it because I couldn't think of a paint scheme. Then I realized that I could paint it in the factor colors and put the decals on and have a Semroc original. Easy choice.

Nice outing, and beats my flight count for the entire year!
We still have fires in the mountains 10-15 miles away, and the sky is hazy, and ash is noticeable on our patio furniture. Of course, that means fire bans still in effect. Alamosa is having a launch tomorrow (NSL-2021 site), but we just got back from a road trip, so driving almost 300 miles one way just isn’t going to happen. Finally, I congratulate you in your ability to still get the girls to squeal...
