Launch Date: January 26th, 2020, Part 2


Another set of pictures from this most excellent Colorado winter launch:

Jim Gazur's Micro Enerjet 2250 with 3 B14 motors blazing!

Another B14 flight!  Lee Reep flew this two stage model with a vintage 1969 B14-0 in the booster 
and a B6-6 in the upper stage.

Another impressive liftoff.

The model came down fast on a streamer and took a 'core sample'.
No worries, though, the landing spot was the soft sand of a nearby volleyball pit.  No damage!


Mike Goss's Quest Icarus takes to the skies for a very nice flight.

A whole lotta' preppin' goin' on...Left to right:  Jim Gazur, Mike Goss, Jesse Ulibarrii, Ed Mitton, and Lee Reep.  
Serious rocketeers doing serious rocketry, indeed!

Jesse Ulibarri launched an Executioner for a very nice flight on a D12-5 motor.

My Griffin-2 and Estes Firefly parasite glider set to take off.

The tandem lifts off for a very nice boost on B4-2 power.
The Firefly separated and flew beautifully, but could not be found after an extensive search.  This was the only model lost this afternoon.  The Griffin was recovered successfully.

Mike Goss flew a beautifully built Estes Sizzler
on a B4-2 motor.
Perfect lift-off.....



...and recovery!

STILL MORE TO COME.
CHECK BACK AGAIN FOR PART 3.
