Sorry I missed it! Did anyone take advantage of the high windows Joe worked so tirelessly for? I saw the big tower set up. Sorry I missed it (though I rrrrrreally enjoyed Australia) 😀

A few. Not sure how many. Three of Four.

SATURDAY
Art and Doug did a drag race.

We ran out of registration card and had to drag out some
more from Joe's truck. Many Many flights.

Overcast today....Hope for some flights.

My altimeter was reading 17,900 feet and M1.5, but I'm not sure if I feel comfortable claiming it as my new personal best altitude since the rocket is in more pieces now than I started with.....

Hey Nate, which motor and in what sized rocket? Sorry it came back dis-assembled... they do that sometimes 😯

Welcome back from Australia John!!!

Just got back from OF with my L3 in hand!!

Nice pictures Mike. And you owe me Nate, I cleaned that motor for you...

Jason Chamberlin

Congrats, Jason! Did anyone happen to get pictures of my Gray Ghost (Crimson Comet)? Let me describe it... it's that kinda big gray one on Saturday? I didn't have time to claim a raffle prize (757107) or get my altitude on the card. For the record, Mike K. said 11,232, and Jordan Russell said 11,233. I was too exahausted to even really listen to it, though it beeped for hours. JW, you were right, it flew dead straight, even in about 10 mph of wind.

I emailed You a picture I think is Your rocket.

Let Me know.

You got it! Thanks, Mike!

Good job Jason! Bruce, indeed the consensus was that you'd have no worries with your boost - it is funny how an issue like that can have zero effect on a boost. Sorry I missed it all.

I will be there for MHM. My goal is to fly more rockets in May of '09 than what I flew in all of '08!

John,

John Bixler is the only one I know of that took advantage of the 35K window - he flew a Loki K350 in his rocket "Junior" to 22K and change.

Great pictures, GREAT LAUNCH. Still sorting thru the details but it looks as if 492 total flights including 2 Jr L1's, 2 L1's. 6 L2's and 1 L3 so far. Probaby a few more certs but I didn't get all of the paperwork. Lots of big shots - several two mile and three mile club members; new records, new members, new personal bests, new friends, new memories.

I lost the 'Great Quark/Swift 7X Drag Race'. This is one of the
reasons why. Ron builds great rockets. Just look at the Big Daddy
Upscale.

Ron had a great flight.

Also look at the right and You will see a bird just about landing.
