CORRECTION: Warren and my L3’s were done with versions based on the Competitor 5. HOWEVER, the M-N rocket I fly now, the Crimson Comet, is ALLLLLL Intimidator 5, as was Mike Konshak’s L3. Mine’s been over Mach 1 and to…   Read more»

It is also a great L3 rocket.

You bet it is! I made my L3 out of the Int. 5 kit, just added another 3 feet to it (pictured at left). Warren M. did his L3 with the kit, too.

Speaking of which, what was the final altitude readout from your attempt, John? A bit over 14K if I remember correctly.14,188’….. BTW, Sunday would have been the day to do the shots – it was REALLY calm. Wonderful day! Altitude…   Read more»

… so, uh, don’t single deploy at 15000′

Too late. I’m prepped. I ain’t scared.JW

Yep, and Tom Rouse is the competition committee chair again…

Don’t hold your breath – my understanding is the altitude records committee is still in a bit of disarray since Erik Gates’ passing and that final rules have not yet been decided upon.Warren

Adrian, speaking of waiting for things to hit the books, I’m still waiting for my TRA record “H” 2 stage flight from last August to hit the books. I’ve resent in my application, send numerous emails… still waiting. If this…   Read more»

I can tow the trailer out on Saturday, but someone else will need to tow it back Sunday afternoon. I need to replace my tent before any overnighters.

There should still be NOX in the tank as long as the trailer gets there. I haven’t checked in with Ed to see how the Volunteer pool is filling up but I’m confident we’ll all find a way to make…   Read more»

Nothing too exciting here. I’ll be bringing some low and mid power stuff, and I’m hoping to continue my alphabet contest up through H or so.

if everyone is willing to hang around until I show up I will have it pretty much ready to go.

Yes I will be there. Going to fly a couple sugars….i hope. trying to getthings finished.

Will there be Nitrous at the launch?Edward

I’m very excited about the possibility of the I216’s being flown in min. diameter optimized rockets. The first time that anyone will be attempting an altitude attempt with these motors. That would be very cool.Looking forward to seeing the results….   Read more»
