June 30 Launch Report – Mark Bundick
Boy, was it ever HOT! Four flyers managed 17 flights before we were out of energy (and had unfortunately lost a lot of competition rockets). Bob Zurek moved up to 4th place nationally in Parachute Duration, and Mark Bundick landed in 6th in Streamer Duration. Good luck to all the FVR competitors at NARAM-60 next month!
June 23 Launch Report – Mark Bundick
Perfect flying conditions greeted 4 flyers, light winds and blue skies. We posted 21 flights, and Mark Bundick and Ed Chess continued their contest flights. Ed posted a 1/2A Boost Glide flight of over 4 minutes and now ranks #1 on the NAR’s National Scoreboard in the event. Congrats to Ed!
Additional Kishwaukee Park Launches June 23 and June 30
Some of us who are participating in the new NAR NRC National Competition are trying to get in more qualification flights.
We have scheduled use of our Kishwaukee Park launch site on Davis Road, Woodstock for Saturday, June 23 and June 30, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
We will NOT have club launch equipment available at these two launches, but if you have your own launch equipment and want to fly, please feel free to come out and join us as we prepare for NARAM-60.
