Launch Date: 14 July, 2019 - A Couple of 3FNC Flights


Today’s launch was yet another of those shoe box affairs in which I take a quick jaunt to the nearby park and put up a couple of small birds within the span of half an hour.  Weather conditions were very good at Founders Park in Castle Rock, with a temperature around 80 degrees, winds at 3 to 4 mph, and clear visibility with partial high cloud cover.
This session saw the launch of the old Hornet for its 47th flight on an A3-4T motor.  The bird turned in its signature great performance and was recovered successfully.
 
 
The second rocket flown in this session was the Astron Alpha.
Flying on A8-3 power, the model turned in a great flight and was recovered about 100 yards downfield after drifting a bit under a ten inch parachute with spill hole.
 
 
All in all, an enjoyable time spent at the park feeding the insatiable rocket-flying bug!
