MASA Launch 02/23/2002

Event 02/23/02: MASA Rocket Launch at White Bear Lake

45 degrees, a bit of slushy ground cover. Strong winds from South.

This was the Free Rockets contest from the "Found-Parts" rocket building session at the Feb 5th meeting.

The launch was only from 9am to 11am. I was judge for the contest and also helped some first time fliers prepare their rockets. I forgot my bag of small motors so only launched what I had already loaded in my rockets. (didn't really plan on flying much anyway).

My Flight Results:
