Yo Folks,
I just want to thank everybody for the help I've received retrieving errant rockets of late. Last fall Howard helped me extract a rocket from a tall tree at the absolute limit of the group's extension pole. Tony helped me get another treed rocket today. Scott Clement has kept me company on more than one occasion while I was pacing the unmowed fields that border our launch sites.
Today, I sent one rocket into the tall grass upwind of our field (I should have used a parachute not a streamer) and another one drifted into the tall grass downwind of our field (I should have used a streamer not a parachute). I never would have found either one without the help of Mark who kept and eye on the upwind one and a kid looking for her rocket near the downwind one.
So Thanks everyone. Until I get my hands on a better prescription for my glasses, my ability to track my rockets is hampered. Meanwhile, I guess I just need to fly lower power rockets. So sad.
Rod
