It's Election Day and a school holiday so the family decided to spend the afternoon at the park and launched a few rockets from our fleet. Which included our Baby Bertha, Blue Ninja (a favorite of my son Cole), SR-71 Blackbird (a favorite of my other son Connor), Converter, Cosmic Cobra (a family favorite), Eagle Boost Glider, Lucky Seven, QEZ Payloader, Skywriter, and our two Vulcan's. The Eagle Boost Glider, QEZ Payloader, Skywriter, and Vulcan's are new additions to our fleet.

The day was perfect, just the right amount of wind. With the exception of a few rockets, they all flew absolutely perfectly. Straight up into the afternoon sky, with most recoveries occurring no greater than 30 yards from the launch pad.

The Eagle Boost Glider was such a sight to behold that we launched in twice. Another sight was the QEZ Payloader. Once it achieved its apogee it appeared to just hang there for what seemed like several minutes. And then it began to descend. The nose cone (and cargo) and body landed within a few feet of each other. On this maiden voyage we choose Lego's as our cargo. The Skywriter flew as straight as any pencil thrown into the ceiling of a classroom.

And then the Vulcan's. I really had high hopes and expectations for them. They were our second and third cloning projects. The "red" Vulcan actually left the launch pad and then performed a line drive across the park. Before coming to a crashing halt. It suffered severe damage which we will perform basic repairs on and then immediately retire. The second Vulcan, "brown”, didn't even leave the launch pad. It just sat there and sputtered. Fortunately it didn't suffer any damage, so I will need to go back and determine what obstructed the lift off.

Sadly, in our haste to have a family outing we forgot the camera for this event
