John Wilke, Warren and I are planning to fly new 54mm collaborative effort that will require the call-in waiver.

Is this that woven carbon-nanotube airframe with depleted uranium nosecone project you guys were working on? 😆

With you 3 on it, we know it's going to either be cool or REALLY cool, and WAY up there!

Thanks. This rocket won't have anything too exotic, though. And the July launch will be a little shake-down test flight with a relatively small motor. Small for John, that is. 😉

Well I dunno if it is small. I was figuring we'd be flying one of the AMW L1300 BB motors I have in the magazine. Alternative, if it is coming out of my magazine, would be an AT K550 or AT K700.

PS: By the way, the rocket is just sort of a standard Wilke/Adamson/Musselman minimum diameter all-carbon project with a VonKarman nose. The exotic part is Adrian's electronics and e-bay. I'm just doing the fins and tip to tip work. If the thing doesn't hold together, you can blame me. If the thing flies right and recovers, the kudos belong to John and Adrian.

Should be a good launch! I plan on flying an AT L2200 Green in my rocket Poindexter at this launch.

I will be attempting to make another slow motion video similar to the one I made last week on a CTI L640 Dual Thrust

Hope to see you guys there!

PS Chris i have your 75-54 adapter and I can drop it off if you need it.

I have a K350 to use in this Bessie as well.... thattaway we can test the off-axis thrust...

I'm also going to fly a KestreL on an aggressive L of some type. We know they can handle the K300s just fine 8)

Your just copying me! 😉
Thats ok because I will be copying you. 😀

Please let me know of window users ahead of time please. I know of two so far, Bill Taylor and Adrain/Wilke/Musselman shot. Will be checking the weather - windows available for either day - suggest you check as well. Thanks.

Joe,

I'll be sending my L3 up on a healthy M - it shouldn't break 20, but it's close enough for discomfort, and having a window would be a good idea. It'll probably go up Saturday.

Joe, the Louwers / Adamson / Musselman / Wilke project will need two distinct windows. I will send my KestreL up right behind one of those shots.

If you want to see the REAL DEAL on our project, come on out to BALLS. ********IF******* our experimental motor works, it will be a revolutionary blast. If we told you how high we were trying to put a 54mm project up, you'd think we were smoking hippie lettuce 😀 It will either be really cool - or we drove 2,000 miles for nuthin. Go big or go home, right???

I will bring My tent if anyone wants to sleep the night.

I will have it in the truck, if anyone is interested.

Basic 'NO FRILLS' accommodation's.

John, if anyone knew the details of the BALLS shot, it would be absolutely clear we were smoking something... as it is, we might just set a field record at the north site with this baby. Under 4# and on an L motor? One of my best layup jobs if I do say so myself.

I doubt that you'll set a field record. It'll do great I'm sure, but John's M shot was so close to the waiver that I doubt you have any chance of beating it. You might set a field L record though. Which L are you using?
