Highlights
Beautiful weather and incredible launch area. This launch with UROC is the first group launch I have attended. The first attempt with the EZI-65 failed to ignite the motor. Second attempt flew perfectly, and I received my Tripoli Level 1 certification. The Big Bertha 3 only lit one motor, almost hit the LCO area, broke a fin. Final flight was the Arcas, perfect flight with ejection just after apogee. I called it a day (the kids were hungry). Thanks to the UROC and Mike Morton for making this possible.
