CATO 1 Launch Report

Sunday February 1, 1998
Clarks Falls, CT



What a great field! Palmer's farm in Clarks Falls is plenty big for future HPR launches. Today's was organized by Paul Ludwig, who gave FAA notification of a large model rocket launch (but no waiver this time). The weather was perfect too!

Cody and I flew his Astrocam on C6-7s (photo #1)

I flew my NCR SA-14 Archer XL for the first time, on an F62-4 Darkstar (photo #2).Near perfect flight, but only about 400 feet altitude with this engine.I plan to certify with this rocket soon, on an H.
Cody recovered the Archer for me (photo #3)
