This was a really cool and very clustered rocket from a German friend
(Uwe Schilke). He launched his Bluebird with 3xD7-3 + 8 Held 1000.
Too sorry for the (hard) landing :(

His Quantum Leap was propulsed by a powerfull H123. I don't know what went
wrong :(

Here we can see two of the guys who are attempting for first certification
(L1).
Stefano Innocenti on the right and Paolo Cosetti in the middle are
assembling the HPR RMS motors for certification, while Stefano Figoni,
to the left is carefully cheking what they are doing (he is the first italian
rocketer that took certification some month ago).

This is the big big bird of Paolo Cosetti (on the left) attempting
L1 certification. He armed his modified EZI-65 with an impressive H180-M.
Sitting near Paolo is Stefano Figoni who helps with the pre-launch
stuff.
Standing on the right, Tommaso Ravaglioli watches carefully.

YEAAHH! This is the mighty EZI-65 (modified) propulsed by an HPR motor
(H180-M).
With this bird Paolo Cosetti finally took his cert on the second flight,
as during the first launch, his EZI loosed the RMS motor.

And here is the safe landing of the EZI-65, not too far from the launching
area.
