Two time winner of the George Pike Award, Kevin Wuchevich dug into his vast collection of rockets in August.

Kevin Wuchevich

Flying off of the low power pads and the high power pads as well, Kevin shows us how to win the George Pike Award.

Of course, having a couple hundred rockets in your fleet helps.

Kevin breaks tradition by launching his own Rocket with No Fins off of the low power pads.

The Rocket with No Fins arcs gracefully as it heads in a general upward direction.

After performing Olympic-level aerobatics the Rocket with No Fins lands with a thud based recovery.

"Maybe it should have some fins", said Kevin.

A regular of Kevin Wuchevich's is Snoopy's Doghouse. Kevin flys the Doghouse at most launches that he attends and it rarely dissapoints.

Sometimes Snoopy tries to take the ignition wires with him.

While none of Kevin Wuchevich's rocket exploded, we got immense entertainment from his Rocket with No Fins.

And as usual, Kevin provided future story material.

Thanks Kevin!
