Camas Highschool made it to the TARC 2022 event and did a great job. 7th place is a great position to make out of the hundreds of schools that competed. Mentoring and advising them with their endeavors was a great honor and to see them conduct flight testing to make it to the event was terrific. 🙂🚀🪂👍

Today from 9 am to noon was perfect. We had 100% success with launches and recovery.

Daniel and Louis were in attendance and the weather was good for launches up to F impulse.

Tri-Cities had a great Labor Day weekend event. The weather was picture perfect and rockets with impulses from 1/4 A up to N were launched. It takes place on a Sod Farm.

All rockets launched safely deployed and were all recovered.

Derek Deville offers a great Ted Talk presentation on the hobby of rocketry that others may find informative:

Congratulations to Vernon with his level 2 certification flight and to Louis on his Level 3 certification flight.

The weather cooperated this weekend and several people attended and had great flights.

Hopefully we will have more good weather in the months to come.
