The Cambridge Rocket Club successfully completed it’s second launch of the season on Saturday May 13th, 7 days after the twice postponed season opener. The weather was good with modetate temperatures, blue skies and gusty winds at times. Once again we welcomed a number of new guests and members to the club as we continue to grow. We had 14 model rocketeers launch their rockets for a total of 43 launches. We flew eveything from 1\/2A to G engines. The rockets included some scale models as well as some rockets which flew with on-board cameras. We had several drag races including one that required a photo finish. The success rate was very high and I believe that all rockets were recovered. By the end of the day we burned 43 model rocket engines with a theoritical total impulse of 1,158 Neutons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our next scheduled launch is on Saturday June 10th<\/sup>\u00a0and the theme is multi-staging where members are encouraged to bring out and fly their multi stage rockets. We will also be offering members an opportunity to practise their A.8-3 parachute spot landing rockts in preparation for the contest sponsored by the Canadian Rocket Store to be held on June 24th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep building those models and hope to see as many of you as possible on June 10th..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Cambridge Rocket Club successfully completed it’s second launch of the season on Saturday May 13th, 7 days after the twice postponed season opener.
