RJD 2015

Another trip to Leipzig over one of several long weekends in May/June for the annual RJD rocket launch. I often do a couple of days cycling and then drop in on the RJD launch on the Saturday/Sunday. This year most of the flying was Saturday, with Sunday being a bit grey and breezy.

I didn't fly anything, but mostly took photos.

Frank and Ton racking up an impressive carbon fibre rocket...

On the pad (not quite) ready to fly... I'd do something with that igniter first...

Oooh nice! Redline motor...

I do believe that's not the proper way to land...

Looks like it's well buried, unfortunately...

Not sure that's going to polish out...

Cycling in Leipzig

Last year I did some MTBing not too far away in Poland and Czech Republic on the couple of days preceding the RJD rocket launch. This year I decided to do some road cycling instead. The ride was basically round one of the lakes just south of Leipzig, then back thru the city to the hotel.
