Hey Conway, thanks again for the boost! For those that missed it, Mr Conway's Loudmouth Blue formula is great to watch and even more fun to fly. Beautiful motors.
It was my first research launch, and I was more than impressed! Conway, NOW I see why you said you've seen more CATO's with commercial motors. The Russell Reds and Loudmouth Blues were VERY IMPRESSIVE. Thank you for the show!
Thanks Bruce. Im glad you liked them. Im sure I speak for James on that as well.
Most researchers are very careful. More careful then most at commercial launches when it comes to motors. They know that things are different and really try hard to to push safety first. Also higher safety factors at research launches are higher to. BUT like NASCAR we all go to events for the race but love a good crash to.. So when a GOOD and BIG CATO happen its kinda fun to.. Ive done lots of mixing and lots of testing on this formula I have now. I first started off on the first 2 motors I built with Alumaflame,(it was someone else's formula) But I didnt like the washed out color it gave or the ISP it had. And it really didnt have what I wanted for Characteristics in performance and mixing/processing. So I made my own formula and numbers and low and behold you have Loudmouth blue v.1 (V.2 is in the works with more performance and even better working conditions as far as mixing)
We as NCR and as a research group are fortunate to have the talents we have with folks like James Russell, Jim Amos, Mike Bennett, Eric Parsons, John Bixler and more. Ive seen many and most of the stuff they do their motors are great and fun to watch. My hats off to them..
Bruce I am glad you enjoyed your first Research launch. Its my favorite part of any launch.
I have to say thanks as well to Conway for letting me fly that very nice Loudmouth Blue K500.
Jason, Im glad you like it and your welcome.
Now we need to get you a T shirt that has Mr WMO on it
Nice shot by the way you psycho.. Nice to know im not the only half crazy one out there. 😆
So now when are you going to do a L3
Hey Con,
Anytime. I'm already starting to think of new and different things to put on top of yours and James' loads. 🙂

I am going to be in the air at 8:30 tomorrow. I am flying out over the site in a "well equipped" Cessna 182 to find Big EZ. If I find it, I can mark the lat and long and then James and I will head out and get it after I get down.
I will post an update tomorrow night; hopefully it will be a good one!

Mike Bennett, your research motors were as hot as JamesR and Conway's. Didn't mean to leave you out! I still have that eyebolt you wanted... somewhere. Art, let us know when you guys find James' Big EZ.
Thanks Bruce, I wasn't looking for any praise, I was just happy to be there. Ray did get some awesome pictures. Just waiting for him to go through them all so I can post them. I saw mach diamonds in the green and skyblue motors as well as the everclear.
Don't worry about the bolt, I have one now.
I too would like to post some thanks for a great Oktoberfest.
Thanks to Joe, Lee, and everyone who helped with my L1, motor casings, etc., and/or offered equipment/advice.
Thanks to Chris and everyone who helped with my attempted on-site repairs looking for fiberglass.
Thanks to several people I don't know (yet) for helping with the assembly of my first H motors, which were just slightly unfamiliar.
And, thanks to all the volunteers for all their hard work to make OF such a success.

The BigEZ is still missing, I posted more info on the Lost and found.
there is a reward now
