Hmmm, a big ol lit object in the middle of nowhere flown off of a G motor for the SSS. Could make finding it easier. 🙂

Lighting is HIGHLY recommended, or you’ll likely not see it for a year or so afterwards.Speaking of MHM and Oktoberfest – BOTH pages are up for 2007. Check ’em out. Minutes for the Annual Meeting are up on the website…   Read more»

Waiver close is indeed at Sundown which means that all night flights must be on rockets weighing less than 3.3# and flying on a G motor or less.

WITH a lighting system… ? 8)

Check the rules on the MHM link for SSS. It specifies last years motor. Don’t want someone to get messed up on that.

Our waiver has been sunrise to sunset, IIRC…. El Presidente would have the lowdown, but methinks that is still correct.

The website doesn’t mention it, will there be any chance of a night launch?D2

8) Last year at MHM the J350 was my biggest seller of the larger motors. I sold 8. But with the SSSS I well my need 12-15 this year. This week alone I took orders for 3 M’s. Could shape…   Read more»

No worries then, Doug — I know it uses a different frequency vs. Adept. Joe Mullin (Rockethunter) is a great guy, I used his tracker at BALLS a couple of years ago. He makes a great product. Had I not…   Read more»

No, I’m using Rocket Hunter and I’m not sure the frequency. I can look it up if needed.Doug

Doug, in comparing notes on this end, it sounds like there will be3-4 of us flying our SSSS at MHM as well. Are you using tracking? If so, is it the Adept? I ask because most of us use the…   Read more»

Thanks for getting it started. I sent out the site today. I plan on being there and even entering SSSS.Doug

The basic facts…. May 4th(friday) though May 6th (Sunday).. Sunday is a Tripoli EX day. (ooops, I mean Research). Pray for good weather on Sunday. I’ll be there setting up on Wednesday the 2nd.Personally, I plan on flying at least…   Read more»

Thanks Warren, I’ll hold off writing them until its up.Doug

Within the week…Warren

That I’ll do. Thanks, John.

Anyone happen to have a small section of 5″ (or even a 5.5″) G-10 fiberglass tube laying around… oh, about 6″ high? Need to make a better hatch… hate it when this happens… Bruce, that is an oddball size… but…   Read more»

I have asked for it on Sunday. Im pretty sure I will need it as with Research motors you only have 75% of the waiver to use. I will be pushing Full Throttle up on a large 17 to 18kns…   Read more»

You are right on the button there, Bruce – the rocket has a bit of a mind of its own on gameday. Incidentally, I did not know that about the Loki darts (4 fins, etc.)I had an amazing amount of…   Read more»

Well, JW, I’m sure we’ll have a number of attempts this year, and we can keep track of them. 🙂 Just a few quick points… why didn’t the Loki darts use cones instead of ogives? Cones are ideal at the…   Read more»
