Default Reports of U.F.O.'s over New Berlin?

That must mean it's saucer day at the sod farm! The weather looks good at this point in time, with forecast high temps in the upper thirties. Are we still in Wisconsin? Is it in fact January? I'm stumped on this weather, but flying rockets is better than shoveling anyway. My Snitch will fly on some F loads, with some cardstockers bringing up the rear. Idle question - At what point (size/weight) does a saucer type rocket require an active recovery system? Just wonderin... See ya' Saturday, Chad.

This might be the right occasion to crack open my original Estes UFO starter set I've had since 1990. Don't know if an 80's C6-0 will have the same effect as an FSI F-100; but one never knows

Thanks for the reminder, I need to get some FSI D's fit to a saucer for Saturday. Well one, anyway...

No need to worry (or bring your hardhats), "Chad's Saucer" has been retro-fitted with a recovery system. Flies tomorrow on an F52.

If you put a cluster of some sort in there, I'll be happy to fill it with C motors!

Great day at the farm today! A bit breezy, but overall AWESOME! Lots of flights by a great turnout of fliers. I got a bunch of good vid's, I'll get that put together tonight.
