Bunnell Blast 2015Bunnell Blast is NEFAR‘s annual Fall two-day research launch.  Held November 14 and 15, this year’s launch attracted a large number of flyers.

On Saturday, nice weather and separate high-power and low-power ranges resulted in rockets being launched almost continuously.

Sunday’s weather wasn’t quite as nice, but it didn’t stop the fun.

Here’s a video I produced from aerial recordings of launches from both days.

Last weekend, NEFAR hosted its annual two-day Bunnell Blast launch.

Rockets from small to large took to the air on Saturday.

And even a furry rocket flew … sort of …

Saturday’s launch lasted into the early evening allowing for spectacular dusk and night launches.

Gusty wind, unfortunately, provided a challenge for flyers on Sunday.

But, some large rockets still flew including one of Gary Dahlke’s two-stagers.

My YouBee, an upscale of the Odd’l Rockets Break Away, flew on an Aerotech K480W motor.

Robb Haskins flew his Cluster Thrust on a cluster of four motors.

Now, it’s time to start preparing for Bunnell Blast 2013!
