Launch Report for Saturday, September 29th, 2001
(Salvo 6)
Jacques Beauséjours' LOC/Precision Vulcanite on an Aerotech F25-6W
| Time at Liftoff: | 14:17:45 |
| Flight Duration in Seconds: | 45 |
| Jacques' LOC Vulcanite was up next on an F25-6 for a kick-ass flight and a still smokin' descent. Landing was roughly 500 feet west of the pad and well within the recovery area.. | |

Jacques Beauséjours' Estes Little Joe II on an Estes A3-4T
| Time at Liftoff: | 14:18:53 |
| Flight Duration in Seconds: | 30 |
| Jacques' Little Joe II made a short and sweet but cool flight on an A3-4T, narrowly avoiding the corn field behind the launch area and northwest of the pad. No matter how many big rocket I get to see fly, I never get tired of the little ones and apparently neither does Jacques since he always flies a good mix of large & small rockets, new & old. | |

Anthony Brohan's Estes Viking on an Estes C6-7
| Time at Liftoff: | 14:19:50 |
| Flight Duration in Seconds: | 31 |
| Anthony's trusty Viking made yet another flight on a C6-7 and it looked for a moment that his luck might be running out in terms of always getting this little vehicle back, but like Jacques' Little Joe II, the Viking just narrowly avoided that corn field to the northwest. This rocket lives to fly yet again. I believe that this was the only rocket to fly more than twice today. | |

Marc Ouellette's contest rocket on an Aerotech F50-6T
| Time at Liftoff: | 14:21:05 |
| Flight Duration in Seconds: | 33 |
| Marc launched his contest rocket on an F50-6 for a spot landing attempt. A great flight with a landing not so far away from that pylon marking the landing zone. I find this design to be a particularly good one since the fins are large enough to keep the rocket stable, small enough to avoid weathercocking, the airframe is about the right length where a six second delay makes it a perfect choice, and the F50 gives it a decent amount of speed to further avoid weathercocking. Very nice finish too! | |

Jean-Denis Rivet's LOC/Precision Hi-Tech H45 on an Aerotech F25-6W
| Time at Liftoff: | 14:22:06 |
| Flight Duration in Seconds: | 83 |
| On my pad was Jean-Denis' LOC Hi-Tech H45 on an F25-6 for a very spectacular flight that sailed a bit past apogee before deploying and a very long drift in the light breeze with a landing just before the corn field to the west. | |
