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. http://cia-rocketry.smugmug.com/Outreach-Education/Chanute-Aerospace-Museum/IMG8434/426494550_MDWzj-Ti-1.jpg http://cia-rocketry.smugmug.com/gallery/6681334_nYbbT/ 2008-11-28T12:35:53Z Copyright 2010, the copyright holder of each photograph.
