Good Launch day!

Love it when you come home with all the rockets you left with and nothing to do apart from refill water bottles and charge batteries!

Only managed 3 launches of a 4litre/100psi rocket, due to time constraints, but all landed within about 80 metres of the pad, The new Servochron deployment worked faultlessly!
Was hoping to get out again tomorrow, but the weather report on the evening news suggests otherwise :(
Might glue up some splices instead

That's what kids are for! :D
My previous launch day ended with an hour long bash thru 8ft high scrub Search and Recovery mission, so to land it on-field 3 times was a way better result

That's awesome to hear. Glad the Servochron worked well for you! That's great news!
