With the field turned around 180 degrees, people spent much of the day looking up towards the sun during launches.
Kevin Wuchevich and Eddie Zelenick head out to the High Power Pads.
Francis Graham (TRA0001) with his Drone/Monocopter.
One has to love his H. G. Wells type of launch pad structure.
The Drone/Monocopter spun itself up to speed but never quite made it airborn. It jumped off the pad as the motor was burning out.
We doubt it will dissuade Francis.
