Well again the weather was cold and windy, where was the warm sunshine ??
The sky was also cloudy with a number of dark clouds on the horizon but luckily the rain never showed itself.
After a short while a few members turned up and also a few first time visitors, including one from Yorkshire and another from South West London.
No-one was eager to launch first so after a while I decided to try my Alpha 3 and see what the wind would do.
I launched the Alpha 3 on a A8-3 engine and the rocket launched and went fairly straight but the wind made it drift and land on the far side of the hill.
Next to launch was Ken with his Tango rocket which was an Tango bottle with clear fins.
The rocket was launched on a B engine but it also had a surprise for us, as the rocket carried a small payload of orange powder paint which produced an orange cloud at ejection.
The next rocket to launch was Ken's small "ZIP" rocket which was his home made version of a Estes Ninja.
The rocket was launched a number of times and both times impressed all that saw it and was recovered without damage.
Jake had a number of rockets and launched his Thunder Hawk with a small Lego man in the payload section.
I then launched a rocket called "the Terror" on a C6-7, the rocket launch very slowly as it got stuck on the launch rod so it did not have time to reach its normal height and it deployed it's parachute when it was only 20 feet from the ground.
Luckily the rocket landed in some long grass so was undamaged.
Paul launched a number of rockets including his finless rocket called "The Pencil" and even though it had no fins it flew straight and showed no sign of being unstable.
I also launched my Gnome King rocket on a C6-7 which did a nice high flight and was spin stabilized due to the fins being set at a slight angle instead of the normal straight.
The weather had again beaten us and by 4.00pm we all packed up and went off in search of some where warm.
