I’ll be flying a K first thing Saturday AM. Get it out of the way so I can work the registration table and LCO…BTW – how do I post pictures here?

Maybe that would be a great first off the bat wake up @ 6 am. Static fire a K motor or something. LOL.. Wake up time!!! whooosh..Ha! Someone usually launches something to get everyone up, and that would definitely do…   Read more»

Well Bruce, Thats what I say we should do. Lets make it an Official N motor drag race at MHM. We can build you a N2400RR and fly it then. Plus im going to be building my blue formula in…   Read more»

Getting the stuff in any matter of speed is a doubtful. Knowing how Curtis is at Performance Rocketry.. I used to get it easily from Wildman But seeing how Wildman who carried alot of it is now for sometime not…   Read more»

With the amount of work I’ve been stuck with out here in the real world, it’s looking chancy for me to get finished all the things I want to fly at Oktoberfest. At this rate, everything is sure to fly…   Read more»

Today was quite a bust for me on that front, though. Using the same design techniques, and the same stability margin (0.8-1.0 caliber, RockSim) as I had on that nice, straight E shot last month, two rockets I was trying…   Read more»

You can borrow my tracking setup if you want. It’s an Arrow 5-element yagi and a scanner.I’m still shooting for having the first batch of Parrot altimeters done and certified, along with record attempt rockets in A through F. Today…   Read more»

Well, considering that there was a wonderful spot known as lake pawnee about half a mile southeast of the pads today, I seriously doubt that it will be too dry for skids (though a lot can change in a month…   Read more»

If I get the time, hopefully I’ll have a few things to fly.I’ve been focused on getting my 4″ bird repaired, which I will fly on a K555SK (if conditions aren’t too dry) and an L1300BB. I’m finishing my 4″…   Read more»

I will try to be flying a Jayhawk on 2x L ex motors. A joined project with John Wilke, and maybe a SSSS. My dad will be flying his lvl 3 rocket on a full M if it survives BALLS.

I had hoped to have my 2.5x Big Daddy done by Oktoberfest, but I have run into a major setback. My one year old Brittney puppy is fighting a very aggressive cancer. So all my energy and a large sum…   Read more»

I will have at least five rockets including Sponge Bob which did not get to fly during MHM. So a full ex “M” and air starting two full “K’s” then air starting two more full “K’s”. Also several I’s, J’s,…   Read more»

I’ll do the camera payloads. Who’s doing the motor? Worse yet, whose doing the paperwork!Doug

John, those photos are too cool! You know you have really accomplished something when you can capture the curvature of the earth! Now what we need to do is start a project that would hit at least 130,000 feet and…   Read more»
