[BA-Rockets] Launch Report and Other News

[Martin Krikorian]

The February launch perked along nice and steady from noon to about 
3:30.  No wind at all, and some high overcast to make rocket spotting 
easy.  We had a group of about a dozen cub scouts who launched Gnomes on 
1/2 a motors, but we never got so busy that we had to issue the colored 
rack tickets.

Eric Rosendahl flew his Executioner twice on D-12s and three times on 
E-9s!

Thanks to Kevin Majeski who came through for us on hauling the trailer, 
and helped with set-up and tear-down.  Thanks also to Tom McLachlan, 
Norm Newlon, and Terry Swift who put in shifts as LCO and to a new 
member, Phyllis Gracia, who worked the RSO table for an hour.  Norm 
picked up a nifty Navaho kit for our raffle prize, and then lucked out 
and won it himself!

The launches went as follows:

28 - 1/2 A
23 - A
23 - B
23 - C
18 - D
8 - E
1 - 3 C Cluster

124 launches
Not quite a J motor.

ATTENTION: We are still in need of a volunteer with a trailer hitch who 
can pull the trailer for next month's launch.  If you can help out with 
this, please e-mail to the board - Board at BayNar.org

If you have not checked out the newspaper article that featured our 
club, you can still see it at:

For those following expenses, we just cleared our nut for rent at this 
launch, so we can earn a little toward expenses at the next launch.
