I think it is time we discussed the I-165 single shot contest. I just re-read the rules and I see nothing in there about an elevated launch pad. If you will watch the video: http://msnvideo.msn.com/?channelindex=8&from=en-us_msnhp#/video/b3df649a-0f70-8394-7d80-00f91333481c ; the guys had a quadcopter and launched an Estes type rocket off of it. I would think with a bit larger quad copter, and a hole in the middle of the copter so the motor thrust does not beat the copter to death, you might be able to launch an "I" motor off of the thing. If you launched from an elevation 500' above the ground, you could beat everyone. I am not saying I am going to try this, but I am not saying I will not either. And I am not scared of Joe or Chad either!! 😈 😆 🙄

Funny you should bring that up. I had plans to use an octocopter at 800' with a laser motivated stability platform to prevent less than perfect verticle performance. Sims at just over 11,500' on a clear and nearly immaculately calm launch day. Just saying - I'll be ready! That is, if I can get the re-loads delivered on time. First bunch have been ordered. How many players for the Single Shot?

*&^**^%$^&*(^&*&%$#!#$%^&*()!! (LOL)
😈 😆

Count me in for a motor Joe. Even if I end up not using it for the contest, I will still burn one.
