October 11th 2019 Daniel had three successful High Powered launches, here is the full video of one of the rockets:
The April 13th 2019 launch was really good. Mother Nature gave us four hours of moderate weather before the rains started up a little after 12 pm. The field was swampy and most if not all who walked out in the field probably had to wash their shoes off and wash their pants from splashing in the mud J
Don Buchanan took the NAR level 2 test after the launch and got a 100% score J Way to go Don!!
Now he is ready for the nest step which is to launch the level 2 rocket project of his. That should be happening soon!!!
Here are some nice video clips taken by Vernon Buchanon:
Several great successful launches:
The photos are on the google drive and will be posted on the Gorge Rocket Club Web site:

We missed video of one launch which was of the Estes Solar Sailor 2 that Daniel Peirce launched with the nice silver mylar parachute. The rocket went really high and caught a little thermal during its decent.
