***RE-POSTPONED***
Due to ongoing red flag fire conditions, we will be unable to conduct our launch in Amesbury on the 16th of November. We will see what we can do to reschedule in December.
To make it absolutely clear, CMASS does not allow "sparky" motors at any of our launches.
We had a really nice day for our first launch of the flying season. It could have been a little less windy but at least the wind was blowing the long way on the field. We came up just short of three hundred flights with our usual range of 1/8A to J. There seemed to be a greater number of high power flilghts than usual and we had four hybrid flights which I'm sure is a club record. We also had several L1 certifications.There were a few out of state flyers including a contingent from CATO in Connecticut. The gallery still isn't working (webmaster Howie assures me the new web site will be done "real soon") but there are some pictures here and here and video here. Mark Obremski, a local resident, stopped by our launch and took a few pictures. I put them on Flickr.
