Don’t forget Project Daedelus

I have sold all the motors and casings I have to Bear and Dave is getting the Moon Raker and Liberty. Sorry Tim, Dave called and emailed first. I have the blue phoenix left. I never thought I would have…   Read more»

Mark, I sent you an email as well.I’d like the 38mm casing, the motors, and anything else that is left, which sounds like zero at this point.Lemme know.

sorry guys,I emailed right when mark posted. I have already claimed the Liberty and the Moon Raker kits. They are perfect for my skill level!

I’ll take the motors, F & G’s at $5 each. How many am I buying? I come with cash!

If I get the kits, the Liberty goes to the raffle at MHM!!! Tim Thomas

The site, above, lets you scroll through both altitude and time. On Friday you’re looking at 60 knots (70 mph) at 18,000 feet.

How far down does the jet stream dip?I’m trying to launch something that may hit 20 K.

Here’s a good upper level wind forecast site. The forecast for Friday is for a 150 mph jet stream to be centered over the launch site. Hopefully it will move off after that.http://aviationweather.gov/adds/winds/
