Matt, my youngest, had a friend over, I got alot done in the office this
morning so decided to call it a day a little early (working from home has it
benefits.)

So Matt, his buddy and Robbie my eldest were off to the park to fly. My 'personal' flying field just got planted across the road. I stay off
crops.

Winds were moderate.

Virgin flight on my Semroc Mars lander C6-3, stable flight but it busted a landing leg on landing, ()&$%#&(I&^%#$@!!!

Robbie's Mean Machine D12-5 had nozzle blow out, I can take pictures if anyone is interested. Ever see a 6'6" cruise missle?!? Once is enough for
me.

The Razor landed in a nearby wheat field and got steped on in looking for it.

The Fiesta busted a fin off on landing.

The 3 other rockets flown Eliminator E, a stretch Whatchamacallit and something else I cannot remember all flew will with no damage.
 
Isnt wheat a crop or is that a weed?

I knew someone was gonna call me on that as I was typing it earlier...

Yes, but this wheat is being grown in a somewhat defunct sub-division (SD)...

Just before the housing bubble, ummm exploded? This SD was just being
started the street lights, water, roads, sewer and 4 houses are in and
someone is just planting wheat there every year for the heck of it. Half of it
gets wiped out by the local kids as there is an older SD across the street and
a 320 acre park next to it, so I don't feel to bad there. Also I do not know
that farmer and the guy across the street from my house is a friendly
aquaintence, and I would like to keep it friendly.
