Successful days launching, weather was most obliging with the sun shining nice blue skies with hardly a cloud in sight. Wind was reasonably light.
I launched my GLR Firestorm 54 on an I357T to test the Gwiz altimeter (had a long delay on the motor ejection for back up) and then on an I284W later.
Pictures to follow soon.

Hi Mark
Would you care to enlighten the rest of Australia as to what the West Australian Launch Day diet consists of ?

Yes, a good day indeed. Came back with rockets in the same number of pieces that went
Was bit light on bigger stuff - launched the AMRAAM2 on a G64 and and the Matrix returned to the skies on an I211 - but I did prep a few BP rockets (Corkscrew, Acme Spitfire, Wizard, Apex for my son (forgot the smaller members of the fleet last month so I owed him that!). Didn't fly the Quantum Leap as we had to leave a bit earlier than usual. Had a nice hamgurger too!

Yeah...thats a bugger about the zipper....but drag separation will do that....lesson for all you young players, either make sure your sections are a nice firm fit or use shear pins on those rockets that get going a bit quick!
The Cosmodrome Nike Smoke had a couple of nice flights, it is a nice little beginner kit into MPR for those who like a bit of scale stuff.
