We started flying about 10:15 and finished up at 4pm. The flight breakdown was:

A:	4
B:	18
C:	34
D:	28
E:	8
F:	17
G:	17
H:	14
I:	9
J:	2
K:	1
Total:	152

This gives us 55% low power, 28% mid power, 17% high power.

We had two certification attempts this month:

• Colleen Schultes H242 with a rocket called "Bits & Pieces"
• John King H128 with a BSD "38 special".

I think both were successful and allow me to publicly welcome them to high power rocketry.

A few notable flights:

John Lyngdal and Gwynn Daniels made the long trip from Portland and launched a number of G and H flights. Always glad to have visitors from the South!

Mark Shelton launched a number of his scratch built rockets on H motors. And they worked fine as usual. Now if he could only use up the red paint so he can get a little more variety in his color scheme.

We had two nice Amraam 4 flights. One by Eric Shaulkland with an I300 and the other by Steven Mraz with an I161. Both nice flights.

Kimberly Harms launched her Community 6 on an I435 to an altitude of just over 1700 feet (altimeter) and made a successful recovery. (Hey, if I write these reports I get to comment on my own flights!)

Nick Dobin launched his PML Endeavor on an I211 with dual deployment. Don't remember how the deployment went but it is a nice rocket.

Kent Newman launched his Doorknob rocket (also known as "the rocket with a dashed silly name") with a J350 and attempted to get 2 H128's to airstart but the timer failed. Good flight otherwise.

Greg Deputy brought out his level 3 project and launched it on a J350. Amazing that a level 3 project got some altitude out of a 38mm motor, but since its mostly carbon fiber tubing it is not a heavyweight.

Finally, Ed Mirabella launched one of his military looking rockets. This one had vague overtures of a TOW missile. The flight was on a K1100 and he hoped to airstart an I284, but I don't think he got it going. (Bad day for airstarts I guess).

We had volunteers for LCO, pad manager, and range breakdown. As usual I don't have names (one day I'll remember to ask and write them down) but we do *really* thank you.

Let me say one more thing about volunteers. While we appreciate them at any time we especially like folks to help with the breakdown of the range as us poor staff folks are usually very tired by the end of the day. I think we made a record with a breakdown in about 8 minutes.

Usual disclaimer: If I get any name wrong just make sure you write on your flight cards clearer next time!

See you all April 1st. No fooling!
