But Darell, there was (sometimes light-)cyan sky, all weekend long. Here is the launch of that rocket: http://www.argoshpr.ch/Ima...RS8/Dany_Sa/index31.html Juerg

Extreme Rocketry showed you can have a rocket on the cover and it not be surrounded by a majority of cyan sky.

Yes, this makes a different view than out on a dry lake. The downside is the limitation in site dimension, we can't fly higher than 10'000 ft (beyond 7'000 only if there is no high winds) Cheers Juerg
