11-1-09 Metra -Pine Island, NY
squeezed in a launch of the two estes rockets at metra's last launch of the year. Sorry no photos or video team to cover this event.

Metalizer's flight was good but chute melted and tangled together and it fell straight back from where it took off but wound up in a ditch ,luckily someone nearby pulled it out before the tube got soaked. had the chute opened it would have drifted nicely into the field. NOT ENOUGH WADDING! lesson learned. also the motor got wet and swelled in the rocket and i broke the fins off the tubetrying to get it out, needs to be repaired. - estes c6-7

Taser had yet another perfect flight flew high and fast almost drifted into the river but landed safely on the edge. - estes c6-7

all rockets to be flown in spring time.The INTIMIDATOR should have it's maiden flight on a small motor. weather is fading for our area, although if we have a nice day we have scouted a possible small rocket field near home base.
