Launch Report for Saturday, September 8th, 2001
(Salvo 12)
Kemal's unknown scratch built rocket on an Estes D12-5
| This very cool looking rocket was next on a D12-5 for a great flight and a closer recovery to the pad than some, landing about 300 feet east of the pad. As it came down on its chute the rocket was spinning and someone commented that it was generating power like a windmill. :) | |

Isabel Deslauriers' Estes Space Shuttle on an Estes C6-3
| Isabel's Space Shuttle was next up on a C6-3 for a very nice flight although the glider had trouble in these breezy conditions. Both booster and glider landed in the bean field east of the pad. | |

Estes AIM-9 Sidewinder on an Estes B6-4
| The Sidewinder that flew earlier today made another flight on a B6-4 for another gorgeous flight and with the winds continuing to diminish, it landed in the northeast direction close to the launch area. | |

Sylvain Gagnon's Estes Saturn V on an Aerotech E15-4W
| This flight was a sad event since Saturn V's take so much time to build... Sylvain's Saturn took the sky on an E15-4 after a misfire on the previous salvo, but this one clearly had a "bonus delay" and the beautifully finished Saturn V lawn darted into the bean field. | |
