October 2009 Launch
Sunday, 11 October 2009 10:00

There is no doubt that those bigger motors rock.

The day started very grey Brissie way but at the launch site cloud cover was high and all we got is a light drizzle. It was all on. 
There were so many brilliant flights and many cert. flights. Big congrat's go to George who got his L2 with a perfect flight and recovery. 

Ashley and Trevor both got their L1 ( am I missing someone ?). 

I think all of us at QRS feel really bad for our comrade Chris whose attempts to gain L1 failed due to mainly deployment problems. This man builds intricate and beaut rockets. We know you get it next time. 

What a cool drag race between Simon and Blake using J power ! 

Was good to see Mike getting couple of rockets up there after few months break and they went perfect. 

Intimidator 4 did a perfect flight but for what ever reason the droque and main deployed at apogee and I haven't had the time to start figuring out why ? Only problem with that was a quite a long walk. Rocket was in perfect condition. Big thank's Simon for assistance.

Huge thanks to Whipfest who spent all morning at our launch and helped me in number of cases including the recovery. It was good to see you again mate ! 

Thank's Alex for your assistance also. 
Here is the amazing part : As I was towing the trailer up the hill at 12.15pm, the heavens opened up. Simon and I got soaked BUT not after the launch was over and done with !!!
