We again led a build-and-fly activity at the Chanute Aerospace Museum's summer aeronautics camp on June 10, 2008. Campers built and flew Estes Alpha III rockets with A8-3 and B6-4 motors. After building the rockets in the museum classroom, we went outside on the airport grounds near the museum's aircraft collection to launch the models. Due to a shortage of hands we didn't get any pictures of the flying this year, but the weather was nice and it went very well.
