Gillespie Farms - May  14, 2005 - Photo Album
A beautiful day to fly with almost no wind.  Everyone wished they had brought their big stuff to fly.  We tested a new launch controller made out of a tackle box and using 110 volt light switches.  It worked just fine.  Mike Herndon came down from Round Rock and flew several interesting rockets including a cluster flying saucer.
41 Flights total including several cluster flights
Flights by Impulse: A - 11, B - 10, C - 19, D - 3, E - 9, F - 1
Thanks to Ken Gillespie for allows us to fly on his property.
