Highlights
The Wart-Hog was underpowered, arced into the wind and pranged. The ground was soft from last weeks snow, no damage to rocket! The Terrier/Sandhawk and Mustang were nice flights. The Shadow with IA-X96 accelerometer went 1761 feet. This was the Shadows 20th flight. The Cheetah was a nominal flight. The Hi-Tech with IA-X96 accelerometer went 3337 feet, flew out of sight on the H180. The Arcas was perfect. Finished off with a nice flight from the Arreaux with its new nose cone.
