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!
