Highlights
I finally have my waiver in place to 5000 feet, but it was too windy to launch any I motors today. The Terrier/Sandhawk was a perfect flight and delay. The Initiator flew nice on the F40-7W, but the delay was a little long. The Bull Puppy made a great flight on the H123W, but at ejection I could see something white floating down. Turns out I blew off the entire end of the Bull Puppy including all the forward fins. I must have used a little too much black powder. The Arreaux flight was nominal. Final flight of the day was the Hi-Tech with IA-X96 accelerometer, went 2345 feet on the H238T ( it leaps off the pad! ).
