Since the last launch was super windy did any one lose rockets that have an idea where they landed but could not find them? what about just plain old " ya that is gone" replay back to this and what it looked like a pic was be very helpful. and next time im up that way i will take a walk around and see what i can find. And of course anything that i find... and yes i do find lost rockets ill will get in contact with you and send it over.

I lost a rocket toward the end of the day - it was our last launch. The rocket is speckled dark green, about 18" tall with a 24mm motor mount. It landed just in or behind a clump of trees toward the base and east end of the hill that leads to Whitehall Road. I didn't look long as we had to leave, but did not see it in the trees or on the ground. And in fact, it could have gone further than I thought it did, and may have made it to the houses.

Thanks.

Claude

It was an Estes E9-6. It had a 12" parachute - I'm not 100% sure, but I remember it being red mylar.
