I know I’m planning an M hybrid flight as well as a wimpy J flight (if I get that rocket built in time).Edward

Doug,Joe and I have been talking about getting the Saturn V off the ground on Sunday June 3rd.We’re not 100% decided, but don’t plan on leaving Saturday just yet.

It should be worth it, you won’t even need a neck brace. It should be slow enough they might even collide. That would make for some great footage. To get the decoder ring you need to get the special box…   Read more»

OK, well I’m TRA L2, but I haven’t been able to run down a decoder ring yet. I was planning on coming up for Sunday only until Doug said that his drag race with Art was going up Saturday. How…   Read more»

1) Nobody is planning on flying anything significant on Sunday-or-2) It’s a Big, Big, secret and my decoder ring is broken-or-3) There just too busy to bother with posting their plansMay want to take that decoder ring in and have…   Read more»

I may be flying a whole bunch of stuff, on Sunday if the weather is bad on Friday or Saturday. I’ve got 5 boosts I’d really like to do. All commercial… My SSSS is one of them.

I made up the part about the decoder ring….You mean I’ve been bringing mine out all these years for nothing!The lack of response tells me that either1) Nobody is planning on flying anything significant on Sunday-or-2) It’s a Big, Big,…   Read more»

Come on guys, fess up. I need to know if I should come up Sat or Sun. :DDepends (don’t you just hate that answer?!)-if you want to fly, you must be TRA and L2 or higher. If you are both…   Read more»

Come on guys, fess up. I need to know if I should come up Sat or Sun. 😀

As I understand it Bruce is that Nadine will be there on both Saturday and Sunday. So you may very well yet have some pics of your L3 shot. As far as Sundays Research launch I started a thread HERE…   Read more»

That’s okay, Chris. Gee, you’d think a rocket meet would take precedence over his son’s oncie-in-a-lifetime high school graduation. Congrats, Chris! From what I’ve heard, Sunday will be NO disappointment!

No – he’ll be down here taking pictures of my High School Graduation ceremony…Sorry about that…I wish I could see your launch…

Chris, is your dad going to be taking pictures on Saturday, the commercial day and NAR competition? Sorry about drifting off-topic. Love those RR chutes… back on topic.

I’ll be up in June for EX day. I can’t make the commercial launch, but with any luck there’ll still be some fun stuff 🙂

I have the RRQS30 I could bring to the June launch for you to use. Fly it and measure the descent rate and see if it is what you like.DougDoug and Chris, thank you both for your kind offers. My…   Read more»

I’ll be using the RRQ70 for my L3 next launch, in a near 50# rocket (fully loaded, so less without the propellant, obviously; don’t want to look at my documentation anymore). I think I calcuated a 12-14 fps descent rate….   Read more»

I have both a 15 and a 50 that you could mess with…I have to agree with conway on this as well – the 30 would be the best choice for this.

Cool. Thanks, Conway. If anyone has a RRQS30, I’d still like to pack it just so I can see if my current shock cords, etc. fit. I typically use tubular Kelvar, which takes a LOT of room. I’d like to…   Read more»

Also to note. That when I did my L3 flight burnout weight was 56lbs the chutes a RRQ70 and the ARTS recorded a decent of 14 fps.
