Just wanted to get an idea of what everyone will be flying at OF. I have a couple birds that I want to fly including my L3 Attempt.
Jason C
Maiden flight of my Crimson Comet as the primered Grey Ghost, on a 2 second burn CTI L2375. Don't blink, you'll miss it! 😉
I'm on your L3 flight crew, Jason!
X7 Swift on a I300..Drag race with a Quark
Thor-x on a K445
Pawnee Arrow on a K660 or K590 and two H180
Big Nuke on a J500
If I can get it done and sufficiently tested, I'm going for the G staged record with a G37 to E6 rocket. See http://www.rocketryplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1999 for more info. When I was planning smaller fins it simmed to 15kft. Now it's more in the 14k range. But still just G total impulse!
I'd also like to fly the booster and sustainers by themselves to go for the G and E single motor records while I'm at it.
I'm going to fly at least 3 SRS 54mm hybrids as well as 2-3 flights of Alpha Hybrids motors (and the aerospike) on Sunday.

Jon Skuba and I hope to get the Ultimate Endeavor off on a CTI K650 to airstart three Aero I284's. And I might finally have my ugly "Forever" project finished.
I might fly my 4" on an L1300BB and possibly on a K240 Hypertek hybrid. If things are nice and damp on the ground, I also have a K555 Skidmark I'd consider flying. I'm also trying to finish up the mods to my 54mm MD bird in an attempt to take Wilke's club L record on an L330 and maybe tweak the 30K mark, though it's not looking like I'll have the time to finish up before Oktoberfest - I also need to find a BeeLine to borrow for the flight.

How about my Little Brother.
NO! Not her Little brother!
My Little Brother!
I'm thinking of flying something each motor class from A to K over Friday and Saturday, an Alpha on a A8-3 to The 2.5X Big Daddy on a K550. No airstarts this time, it's just not in the mental or financial budget this time round. I hope to put up my Estes AstroBeam up at sunset with its lights turned on. When I'm not working, shopping, or talking with people I'll be doing my volunteering work.
Ron
I'm going to try the SSS again with a similar scratch built rocket, maybe also take a shot at the E altitude.
Chad Moore
I'm hoping to break 7K in my slightly modified L2 bird. Still working out the DD bugs. It's come back fine evrytime it's flown, but each time something hasn't worked exactly right. So my goal is a flawless DD flight to about 7.5K on a K550 or similar AMW load.
I will be flying a 30m Macpara eden III wing along with a Fresh Breeze 122 paramotor before and after the waiver opens and closes as low and as high as I want.
Yes some ask how high, well 18K is not unheard of but now you are over an altitude that planes don't have a speed limit and they have the right away over me. So i plan on staying a little lower.
However for those interested Bear Grylls has used a supercharged parapmotor to fly over mount Everest at 34,000 feet so they can get high:

My son Robert and I plan to be there all three days, with a friend (Keith) who's flying in from Oregon to hang out with us.
I hope to fly YikStik for an L3 cert on Saturday morning.
Keith is bringing at 4" Polecat Nike Smoke, plans to try an L1 cert on Friday afternoon, maybe an L2 later in the weekend if all is going well.
Will have a couple other new rockets and a bunch of older ones with us, hope to get in a bunch of flights if the weather is cooperating!
Bdale
A scratch built for my L1 cert on an H123W and if all goes well then an I211W assuming I can acquire the reloads from Tim on site. According to Rocsim I should see about 6k ft on the I! Woohoo. 😀 Otherwsie it'll be all Estes type stuff for me.
Sorry, guys, I won't be able to fly this year. For financial reasons, I had to make a tough decision this morning. Until I find gainful employment, I am grounded. 🙄
