ROCstock 29

June 16th, 2009

Overcast at times, nice temperatures in June, Skidmarks in California, Frank Kosdon legal again. What was going on?! Hats off to the board and all the volunteers for a fantastic launch. Find some of my photos from ROCstock 29 after the jump, including lots of Ms, Skids, Greens, Reds, and an L3 flight.

April 2008 ROC Launch

Tim Scott’s Phoenix - K550W
I would have brought back more photos, but my camera battery turned four this month and decided that it didn’t like to hold a charge any more. Thanks to Ken Brown for letting me borrow a pack on Saturday, but unfortunately I got in exactly one picture on Sunday before mine bit the dust — hard. Regardless, here’s a few pictures of the action, biased towards my own flights (two Mojave Greens and the venerable Arcas lighting a red motor). There’s also pics of a L3 shot, Greg Lyzenga’s Thumper painted to look like a carrot, and Tim Scott’s all-carbon Butt Ugly Phoenix on a K550W, with the appropriate flame-to-rocket ratio.
