This is the launch report for 
June 1, 2002.

Great day for rockets.  Got hot.  Remember to drink lots of liquid before, during, and after summer launches.  A little bit a wind from time to time.

I want to thank those of you that were there at 11:30 to help with setting up the equipment.  Also thanks go to those who stayed late to help pack the equipment up.  It doesn't take long we everyone pitches in.  Thanks to all.

Scott Brown did a great job building the new pad with 10 positions.  Don Wittenauer rewired the controller so it takes less wires to the pads.  We now have 16 positions.  Should be 18 by the next launch.

We had some new faces show up today.  That is great.

We had 24 fliers.  They put up 76 flights.

Flier Flights Comments
Alex Balke 7 Alex flew a lot of rockets today.  His rocket named "Lost" went up twice on an A10-3.  "Thin" also went up on an A10-3.

A new rocket "Just Made," took to the skies on an A10-3.  "First One" flew on a C6-3.  "School" left on a C6-5.

Alex went for it all with a rocket named "Past The Sun."  Three stage.  A D12-0 staging to a C6-0, staging to an A8-3.
Scott Brown 3 Scott flew "Rudolf" on an F72-5.  I didn't see it, but did it have a red nose (cone)?

"Magic" flew on an I134.  This rocket had two cameras it.  He actuated the cameras by remote control.  A problem occurred with batteries.

His "Calisto" flew on the big J570.  He got 1,448 feet.  This was a really great flight.  The dual deployment worked perfectly.
Pete and Jordan Covell 4 Jordan put up his "Manta" on an A8-3.  This rocket has a glider attached.

Pete flew the "Mini Mars Lander" on an A10-3.  His "Prowler" went up on a C6-3.

Pete's "Area 51" flew on a C6-0.
Randy Curley 5 Randy flew his "Mars Lander" on a C6-3 three times.  These are neat looking rockets.

He had a great flight with his "Broadsword" on a D12-5.  The flight was great, not the landing.  The "Broadsword" made another flight on a D12-5, only it was 4 inches shorter.  It had hit the road a little to hard on the first flight.  The parachute didn't deploy.
Randy Ejma 3 Randy put up his "Streak Eagle" on a C6-5.  The "Executioner" went up on a D12-3.

His "Initiator" flew on an E30-4.

Jeff, John, and Joe Koffel 9 Joe flew his "Mach 12" on a B6-4.  This was in a drag race with two other rockets.

John flew his "Mach 12" with a B6-4 in that drag race.  His "Condor" also used a B6-4.  John's "Firestreak" took off on a C6-5.

Jeff put up the "Flying Pyramid of Death" on an E15.  It flew so good that he then put it up on an F39.  He has that pyramid flying well.

Jeff's "Crayon" flew on a G33.  Nice Blackjack motor.

Jeff flew his "GForce" on a G64-4.  He is getting son Jacob into high power by letting him assemble the motor.  Must of gotten everything right.

The big, I mean BIG, flight of the day was Jeff's "Tinman."  This rocket is 95 inches tall.  I said BIG.  It is 7.5 inches in diameter.  I said BIG.  It weighed 26 pounds on take-off.  I said BIG.  It flew on a K550.  REALLY BIG.  It roared of the pad.  It flew to 1,547 feet.  The dual deployment worked perfectly.
Daniel and Phillip Mashburn 4 Daniel put up his "Skywinder" on a B6-4.  Then he flew his "Black Brant" on a D12-5.

Philip flew his "Mean Machine" on a D12-5.  He then put up his "Onyx" on a G64-7.
Robby May 5 Robby put up a "Fat Boy" on a D12-3.  There was another flight of a rocket with no name on a D12-5.

His "Prowler" flew on a D12-7.

Then came the "Viper 4."  A cluster of four D12-7s.  They all ignited.  It was a great flight.  Straight on four flames.

Robby brought out a North Coast Rocketry "Phantom 4000."  North Coast made some great rockets.  He flew it on a G64-4.  Everything was great except the landing.  It stopped about 40 feet above the ground.  Tree problem.
Greg Patterson 5 Greg flew a rocket named "No Name."  He put it up on an A8-3.  He then flew an Estes "Alpha" on a B6-4.

Jessica, Josh, and Aaron Tschirhart 9

Jessica flew her "Gamma-Ray" on a B6-4.  Her rocket named "Blorange" also flew on a B6-4.  Her "Farside" is a three stage rocket.  It went up on a B6-0 staging to a B6-0, staging to an A8-3.

Josh flew his very old Estes "Space Shuttle Columbia" on a B6-4.  His "Nova Scout" went up on a B6-4.

His upscale and double stage "Double Mosquito" took off on a B6-0 staging to a B6-4.

Josh flew his "Commanche" with a C11-0 staging to a B6-0, staging to an A8-3.

Aaron flew his "Cruise Missile" on a C6-3.  The "Der V-3" went up on a D12-3.
Evan and Mike Verbeek 11 Evan flew his "Mach 12" on a C6-7.  His "Recon" also flew on a C6-7.

A rocket named "Pieces and Parts" went up on a D12-3.  This is what you do with all those pieces and parts you have sitting around.  Make a rocket.

Evan's "Artillery Rocket" flew on an E9-4.  His "Legacy" flew on an E16-4.

Mike flew his "Skywinder" on a C6-3.  His "Mean Machine" flew on an E9-4.  The "Mean Machine" flies great on this motor.

Mike flew his "Dragon Fly" on an E16-4.  First flight.  This rocket has an interesting fin design.  It really weathercocked.

Mike's "Honest John" took off on an E30-4.  His "Strong Arm" flew on an F20-4.

Mike put up his "Iris" on an I-357.  Nice motor.  The rocket weighed 6.4 pounds.
Don Wittenauer 6 Don was going to try to run the alphabet of motors today.  Didn't work out for various reasons.  He started out with the smallest motor of the day.  A Quest "Saturn 5" on a Micro-Max motor.  Must of went all of 10 feet high.

His "Alpha" went up on an A3-3 and another "Alpha" went up on a B6-6.  His "Maverick" took off on a C6-3.  Two of these three are now missing in action.

His Vaughn Brothers "Extreme 29" flew on a D12-7.  These rockets fly great on low power motors.

Don brought out "Concrete III" again.  This time of the Pro38 J435.  Great flight.  A combination of the ejection charge being too large and the nose cone being too lose caused the main parachute to deploy at apogee, 1,449 feet, instead of at 500 feet.  Did you know that there is another field beyond the woods that are beyond the field with the radio antenna in it?  Long walk.
Mark Yeager 1 Mark flew his "Lancer" on a C6-7.  Had a great flight.

You have to be a member of NAR to join SEVRA.  You cannot fly high power (H motors and above) unless you join NAR.
