Debut of our mult-pad launcher. | ||||||||||||||||

This is what happened to Jacob's scratch-built rocket called <Rocket Name> made from a plastic soda bottle.. | ||||||||||||||||

Kevin King's first flight ended in disaster! His motor was too small and his Porta-Pot-Shot crashed before parachute ejection. | ||||||||||||||||

Bryan Dierking prepares his mini-tower launcher and scratch-built mini Bullpup, while Kevin Yackley prepares the launch control leads. | ||||||||||||||||

Richard
Dierking prepares his "Spaceship-One" for launch on Pad
4. Khalid Elfellah's AstroCam is Ready on Pad 2, and Kevin
Yackley's ill-fated Estes Classic "Scissor Wing Transport" is
on Pad 5.
Send me email if you know the other rockets and flyers. |

Sometimes things don't go EXACTLY as planned. The launch and boost were fine. The motor mount parachuted safely into Richard Dierking's tool box! But the recovery wing did not deploy until "landing"! Notice Kevin's tears as Kevin King and Bryan Dierking offer consolation! We should rename this rocket "Lawn Dart!" | ||||||||||||||||
