Dart Launch on October 26 2008

2008-10-26T13:00:00.000-07:00

Todays Launch at Fiesta Island was terrific. The weather was perfect. There was a light crowd and everybody there did a great job with safely launching their rockets and staying organized. I was able to launch a Hobby Lobby Radio Cotroled SR-71 Blackbird successfully. I know there were several people there with video cameras and cameras, so I hope someone got a good picture or a video clip of its launch and landing. It had a little nose damage, but it will fly again on a higher impulse motor next time.

"Always Another Dawn" By Scott Crossfield

2008-10-24T10:13:00.000-07:00

I have been looking for the book titled "Always Another Dawn" by Scott Crossfield. One of the famous test pilots that flew several experimental plays during the 50s and 60s. It was sad that he had passed away two years ago, but he left a lasting impression on thousands of people. The Scott Crossfield Foundation web site has a great brief prsentation by Scott, and it also has the book "Always Another Dawn" on line to read. I thought I would pass that info on here to others.

Enjoy

Nice Launch Day at Fiesta Island 24th May 2008

2008-05-25T21:36:00.000-07:00

Well, the launch day at Fiesta Island San Diego was pretty good considering that the previous days had some pretty strange weather. The NAR rocket club DART run by the current president Mike Jerauld was a good day. From 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. there was a large variety of rockets launched. Everybody there had a good and safe time. The San Diego Rocket club has a long history and I hope that they get an archive going soon that will have a copy of all the news letters tha have been circulated. Several good people that have helped keep the club operational have passed away and will not be forgotten. They have made a terrific impression upon me, and I hope to be able to spread their enthusiasim that they have given me to others.
