OK Today was one heck of a busy day. Lots of flying. Some not so good flying and an amazing ORR event in the evening.

Today is a bit of a sad day. Two of my beloved cameras died a high speed high impact death to day. A flyer was putting up an upscale G20 powered Deuce Wild (ala Flisk Kits)

I strapped my head cam to the rocket and a micro cam to one fin looking at the motors. Well one motor lit first binding the rocket to the rail the the second motor lit freeing but using up that initial "spike" of thrust that this rocket really needed as well as now it was less stable and underpowered. It danced a bit and streamed into a large 50foot wide "bush tree" thing. The Tony Hawk head cam was oblitered. Its done. I found the SD card but its unreadable (no physical damage is visible but clearly its cracked or something on the inside)

The Micro cam. My priceless irreplaceable micro cam is MIA. Off course the ONE fin I attached it too is the ONLY fin to make direct damanged contact with a brance RIGHT where the camera was. It was ejected from the model but we were unable to find it. We have put up a $50 reward if someone is able to locate this camera (out and right from the high power pads in the last push where the concrete pipe drains water into the wee creek The pictures are in this update.

Enjoy the pictures! It was a bit of an overcast day which always makes pictures look "ick" but many are quite good!
