5/22 was a very warm, breezy
day. Between 8:45 and noon, we flew 150 rockets! The tree only got
to keep 4. |
|
6/5 In Pueblo was toasty but nice,
with wind picking up around noon. The first day of the NAR Retional
went off pretty well. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6/19 Pueblo
was a community land use meeting with food, lots of people, and some
good flyin'. |
|
|
6/26 Tripoli/COSROCS
Spring Fling in Hartsel. It was nearly perfect weather, with lots
of great high power and small rocket flights. |
|
|
6/27 Spring Fling continued
with a research day. Big hardware, a couple of bad launches, but
nearly calm. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6/6 in Pueblo was
even toastier. Nearly no wind resulted in great contest conditions.
For the record, SCORE's first regional is a success. |

6/26 Hartsel Spring Fling. Mann photos.
Some really fun flying on a nearly perfect summer day. |
|
|
7/17 It's hot in Pueblo. In July. But
it's fun, there's a good crowd of great people, some certification
attempts. |
|
7/24 Challenger.
A nearly perfect day. Small crowd, fun flying.
|
|
7/31
NARAM-52. Rocket flying was fast and furious. Out of staters were
shocked at the space. HIgh power vendors were shocked at the sales. External
link to Greg Elder photos.

8/1 NARAM-52. More photos of people.
Mucho great flying, though, too. External

8/4 NARAM-52 was a
big day for big rockets. F Super Rocs, that is. Another day of nearly
perfect summer weather.
Jeff Lane's 4-inline "Push-Me-Pull-You-You-You".
A logical extrapolation of the typical 2-stack. |
|
8/6 NARAM-52 was the
final day for flying. Scale models flew on the contest range, with
lots of sport and high power flying. External link to Greg Elder
photos. |

NARAM-52 Group
banquet shot of high power L2 recipients. There were 22.
Allison Van
Milligan won third place nationally. Photo of her with her trophy. |
|
8-21 Hudson ranch. A nearly perfect
day saw a medium-sized and relaxed crowd, still recovering from NARAM. |
|
8-28 Challenger Middle School. If there
has ever been a more perfect day for launching rockets, we have not
seen one. Good sized crowd. Lots of new folks. |

Video of the landing
of a D helicopter recovery rocket. The rotors are canted to provide
spin, and airfoiled to provide lift. This flight was 1 minute, 58
seconds. NAR Regional in Pueblo on 6/5/10. The video is in full 1280
HD. |
|

Full HD video of an unpowered dart. The
ejection charge is activated electronically by a circuit that detects
a change in the orientation of Earth's magnetic field. |

|
6/5/10
John Boren's NAR Regional winning helicopter flight at SCORE. Flight
was over two minutes, so the video is edited down a little, but still
shows full liftoff and deployment, and the graceful, beautiful flight
characteristics of a top-notch helicopter. Full HD video, so it takes
awhile to load. |
|
6/19/10 Mercury Grave
Danger with an HD camera on top. SCORE. This video is full HD 1280. |

7/24/10
One-of-a-kind rocket separates. Play the end of the video slowly,
and you'll see the maple leaf monocopter do some autorotation. It
separated and went into the houses. It had a hinged
wing, hence "monoflopter". |

John Boren refines
his helicopter craft. Trouble is, occasionally his choppers will
invert. It's cool to watch, though. |
|
|
These saucers are so quick off the pad that you can
only tell who won by going frame-by-frame. |
