Just curious how many might be headed out to the Atlas site this next weekend? Obviously Mother Nature bats last and she may keep us all away... if the forecast is accurate (45 and partly cloudy) I'm curious who might be headed out thattaway?
I'm 50/50 myself. I have a biz trip that I really should take.... but I've had just about all the travel I can stand for a while. Don't tell my boss, but I may call in sick 😀
If the forecast isn't too bad I'm trying to make arrangements to be there. Definitely a bit itchy to fly something.
Given that basically ALL of our launches since Mayhem have been cancelled due to fire danger, I most definitely will drive out if just for the social aspect. Both projects I have ready to fly are too big for the Atlas site (an M and an L), I doubt I'll be flying, but I definitely want to be there.

The July launch happened in there.
Yeah - I know Art. However, I was on the river and a river trip beats rockets hands down every time. It's like your priorities - girls definitely trump rockets and maybe beat flying, but a river trip beats them all - especially with girls along.
Curiously, Art does have them about right in order of Total Cost of Ownership.
I dunno, but it seems to me that airplanes cost more than girls and girls cost more than rockets.
I mean - think about it. An M motor is a paltry $300 or so. Girls easily cost more and airplanes far more.

Back on topic:
Go for launch on Saturday, December 4th. Clear to partly cloudy skies, temps in the 40's. Help requested. Hope to see you out on the range.
What time would I need to arrive to be useful for range setup?
Has anyone volunteered for towing yet? If not, I will be happy to do it.
Ken,
No volunteers yet. The trailer is still at my house. Can you tow from there and return to Pierce?
Ed, I can do it.
Most awesome, thanks Ken. I'll be calling in the waiver tomorrow (Thursday). Given the current forecast and the shortened daylight hours, flyers should get there early to take advantage of this opportunity to launch.
What time do we expect to start setting up?
I will be at work thinking about You all.
Good luck.
Have Fun.
