HISSSSSSSSSSSS........
Ed may I remind you that you have had many many many Rocket failures this year.
Sending any Rockets past 8975 feet especially on a J350 could just lead to more heart ache and frustration for you (and me). 🙄 Think about the electronics and motor case you could loose and the wasted time and effort. Think about it.
Where is your wife?? Didnt she want you to put in that new kitchen floor or remodel the bathroom that weekend anyway? 😉

Ed, I'd go ahead and do that if I were you. I mean, fly it. Scott's a newbie - besides, I have a stealth flyer that's sure to win if I can find it.

Scott,

You bring up a good point. The kitchen does need a new floor. However, since you have already flown your SSSC maybe you should come over and do the floor and then I'll head out and fly. 😉

The many, many failures that I have had are weighing heavily on me - I suppose I need a shot at redemption (there's either a song or a rocket name in that sentence).

newbie!!!! ?

I assure you I am a non-biased Rocketeer, concerned for his morale the rest of the winter!

maybe...... it will rain? 🙄

I'd definitely go ahead and do that if I were you... current record is 5967' for SSS and 8975' for SSSS.... pot is over $200 for SSS and right at $200 (I think) for SSSS.

Potential for those that care is 8000 or so for an SSS bird and 13K or so for an SSSS bird....

OOOhhhhhhhhh.... airline tickets on sale, $154. Rental car (believe it or not), $10.83/per day. Parking at DSM airport, $14... Breaking into my brother's house while he is on vacation so I have a place to sleep? PRICELESS!!!!!!!!

See you November 1.

PS No counting chickens here. Ed Dawson has a way of raining on my parade... And Mr. Evans did the smart thing and flew earlier and has one in the bank.

PPS I am flying the SSSS. Anyone doing a SSS blast?

"Mr. Evans"
Ah some respect. 🙂
John, you can stay at my house. 8)

Scott, you did the smartest thing -- flying your project during the normal season. The weatherman has a way of wreaking havoc at the November launch. The N site is practically Wyoming 🙂

Why, oh why do we all wait so long?

JW

Hope theres no problem flyin G80s on Sunday out of the tower. Couldnt get my SSS entry finished for tomarrow. Ill be working on it all day tomarrow for Sunday. 😕

Not a problem Scott - looking forward to it.

Warren

Unless I missed something, there is no launch on Sunday last time I checked.

My mistake - the Research launch on Sunday has been cancelled.
