<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Here are the launch stats from Maker Faire. It took me a
little while to count them because someone spilled salad dressing or something
into the bag with the cards. After pulling them out and carefully separating the
soggy ones, I gave them a day or so to dry out before counting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We flew 307 rockets on Saturday and 233 on Sunday for a
total of 540 rockets in two days. That’s a lot! The cards didn’t
differentiate between the Cyclones and saucers, but I know we brought 400
Cyclone kits and materials for 200 saucers, so I did a 1/3 – 2/3 split on
the total and it came out to nice round numbers: 360 Cyclones and 180 saucers.
Of course the daily totals don’t quite split that nicely, but rounding
gives us 205 Cyclones and 102 saucers on Saturday, and 155 Cyclones and 78
saucers on Sunday. I know that’s skewed a little because we were building
nothing but saucers for the last two hours or so on Sunday after we ran out of
Cyclone kits.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This means that there are some 40 Cyclone kits that were
bought but not flown. It’s actually more than that because at least a
half dozen people came up to me on Sunday with the kit they’d built and
flown on Saturday wanting to buy another motor and fly again. It will be
interesting to see how many purple rockets show up at Ames next month. I
told folks that if they’d bring their MF badges or tickets to our next
launch, we’d waive the walk-on fee to give them another chance to get
snagged into the hobby!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Here are the numbers for all four years, in case you’re
interested:<o:p></o:p></p>
