BlueGrass Blast 2010 Flight Report
October 2 & 3, 2010

Weather for the BlueGrass Blast 2010 started out with a beautiful day on Saturday but around 3:30 turn torrid. As a front moved in the winds shifted from the SouthWest to Northernly and picked up from 4 mph to over 20 mph with gust in excess of 30 mph. The evening meal was a wash out and we closed the launch site around 3:30. Competition was suspended until Sunday.
Sunday was no improvement with cooler weather and occasional showers.
The winds were around 10 - 15 with cloudy skies all day. It was not a good day for competition or HPR flights..
This is the first Blast were we did not have a raffle due to the lack of sponsors and the first time we did not meet our regional requirements of 10 competitors. This competition will be downgraded to Open and the glider competition will be dropped from the competition to meet the requirements.

We had 12 fliers (1 Proxy) with 39 flights and 41 motors burned.
Thats one flight every 18 minutes.
Total impulse 1031ns thats a little less than a Cesaroni J1520.
