 We had a nice launch at Needville today, despite less than ideal
conditions. The day started off overcast, but with high ceilings,
and slight winds in the 5-9 mph range, and fairly cool in the low
60's.
 
 Mikus started the day off with his Custom Rockets Elite on an A8-3
for a nice flight, with a somewhat iffy recovery from a tangled
chute. He followed up with his Der Red Max on a C6-5 which flew and
recovered beautifully. Next was his Blue Ninja on a C11-3, which
again flew quite nicely.
 
 Jeff Roberts did some test flights of his new Dr. Zooch Mark II
rocket, which was just completed a couple days ago. It's first
flight was on an A8-3 which flew VERY nicely and recovered about 30
yards from the pad, picture perfect.
 
 Mikus sent up his oldie but goodie Big Bertha that got him back into
rocketry a few years back. It flew quite nicely on a C6-5 and
recovered well.
