Weather permitting it will be Sunday. Last flight was 9,170′ at mach. This flight should do slightly more in altitude.Edward

Thanks for the instructions. I have found them fascinating, another thing to add to my bucket list. I presume this will be launched on Sunday or Monday?

Today I finished the grain – it is ready for firing. I just had to machine the various recesses and the core. After it was complete I did a complete wipe down with acetone and then wrote the specifications on…   Read more»

Tonight I cast the fuel grain. The formula called for 800 grams and I used my Kitchen Aid 6qt mixer to mix in everything except the curative. For that I used my Armstrong mixer. The formula is 70% solids, yet…   Read more»

Pretty sure it’s a 2″ – I thought we went generic that way so more could play “box hauler and road warrior”.

Great :)I will pick it up this afternoon.1st time towing.Anyone what size ball does the trailer like. 2″ ball or bigger ???

Yes, you can pick up the trailer any time. It’s parked under the trees west of the house.

Now doesn’t that sound like the start of a shady chapter in a dark book.Edward

I could, but it wouldn’t get there before about 6pm.

Anyone up for towing the trailer from Longmont on Thursday?(I cannot get it there until Friday morning)

I’ll be happy to do some LCO/RSO duty. Not sure when I’ll be arriving/available enough to commit to a time now, though. I’ll jump in when there is a need.

I will leave Cheyenne at 12:00. Getting off early from work WOO WOO.

OK. No surgery this week – I’ll be out to Oktoberfest Friday and Saturday and I may even fly an M.Warren

Looking to start field set up about noon Thursday – that is – establishing the flight line, parking line limit, spacing toilets, unloading the trailer when it gets there (who’s towing?) setting the pads and fire equipement, pad numbers, PA,…   Read more»

Not yet. The setup time will be dependent on whomever drives the trailer up. Usually it’s mid afternoon on Thursday.

Howdy,Do we have a predicted setup time, Thursday?

wow! Thanks Joe for the link. I am feeling more educated already.

Ed, you probably did press Save. However, I probably overwrote it – I didn’t even pay attention. For at least the last 5 years I’ve traditionally taken the Saturday morning to early afternoon shifts – weather and fire ban permitting…   Read more»

Absolutely – training is available and shadow operations are encouraged until everyone is comfortable with what they are doing. Basic guidelines are available in the Volunteer Schedule link.
