Another Plaster Blaster event come and gone. It was downright pleasant this year, it never got much hotter than the high 80s. Not much to report this year, I didn't have the time or energy to do a full-blown write-up for a magazine like I have in the past. But, I do have a couple of good photos which I will share.

Here is a photo of Andy Woerner's (the local club president) Planet Express Futurama, a 43 lb. rocket on an Aerotech K1100.

The main event was the Little Joe that was built for this weekend. I didn't get any good launch photos, but here is a shot of the setup, and this one gives you a much better idea of how big this rocket is.

The May-June issue of Sport Rocketry Magazine has my article on Plaster Blaster 2004 (they haven't updated the image yet from the current issue). They not only published my 1200-word article, they also gave me the cover shot, as well as a couple dozen inside photos. My only complaint is that the event took place seven months ago, but from what I understand they are swamped with articles. The magazine went to full-color several issues ago, so I was pleased about that. Plaster Blaster 2005 is coming up soon, so I might drag my gear out there again this year and shoot the event.
