Sure thing Dave, anytime.It landed 3.3 miles N.E., went 22,982′ @ 1053 MPH. Thanks to James, drove to 2.2 miles, then yup, walked right out to it.

Ditto on all the comments about Mike. He helps out when you least expect it and is an all round great guy. There are a lot of great guys in this group which is why it is always so enjoyable…   Read more»

We all really need to thank Mike. He tows, helps set up/tear down, and puts glorious pictures up for everyone to see.He also wandered around with me for hours helping find one of my rockets on a previous launch.Thanks Mike….   Read more»

David,I had to leave before you returned from retrieving your Kestral. Did it land on private property? Did the astro take you right to it?It was a beautiful flight and I appreciate you sharing the prep time with me!Dave

Great pictures and videos Mike, Thanks!P.S. The black and yellow Kestral was my favorite.

Thanks for the photos!! It was a great day to fly and super fun!-Steve

Dave,Not to change the subject, but what motor do you plan to put in the Ariel for your L2 flight? I ask, because if you are using the Quantum Tube, you should not push it near Mach. I speak from…   Read more»

I’ve got 3 and could part with one. Again, what price range were you looking at?Alternatively, I could loan you one with the standard “return it or replace it” deal that everyone uses for motor casings.-Ken (in Longmont)

I have an extra DC-20 transmitter. What is the price you are looking for?Edward

zoombak looks like a questionable alternative. It requires a 13/month service fee along with a T mobile plan. They do have some pretty cool tracking systems though.I don’t think that this is right for me. Thanks for the alternative though!

Have you ever looked at a Zoombak? I think they are about $100.00. I have not looked into them very closely, just doing a lot of research, but it appears to be one the least expensive that I have found….   Read more»

Amen, and NICELY DONE, Joe!

I saw some of it on TV last night, read the review on the Denver Post this morning, and watched the little 2 min. video with Larry and Ginger being interviewed. Some guy looking a lot like you standing in…   Read more»

I saw you ( you had your back turned to the camera) and Larry with his mil-spec haircut on channel 4, 10pm news last night talking up the fireworks display. I presume the symphony willl play for a closing tune…   Read more»

I live in Longmont within walking distance to Hobby Town. I looked at the bob smith website. That gives me plenty of ideas. I think that I will head over tomorrow and take a closer look.

I do not know where you are located; I am in Wellington but work near the mall, so I go to the Hobby Town in Fort Collins and they have the whole line of productsof superglues. I wanted to glue…   Read more»

thanks for the info. I will give it a try. I didn’t know that superglue comes as a “gap filler”. I will keep you posted.thanks,

I have used that method before and it will give you satisfactory results. What I use now for my prefered method is super-glue. I even use it for fillets, (get the gap filling in the purple or red bottles) I…   Read more»

Doggone it! I may beg for a ride from you the next time, Joe. I DO work for the gas!
