This sad news is a real kick in the gut. Scott was always smiling and generous with his time. The last time I saw him, I think it was at Mayhem, he was helping his grandkids launch. And seconding your point,…   Read more»

Great pics, as always, Mike. Thanks for sharing. Jack  

Sounds like a plan… per my conventional e-mail reply, I'm available to tow both ways. I plan to set up my camp trailer on Thursday and will retrieve the rocket trailer on Thursday PM. Should have a passel o' people around to get…   Read more»

I can tow. Assuming things are relatively dry, I'll pull my camp trailer down there on Friday afternoon and then go get the rocket trailer. See y'all out there. Jack   

Joe,If you want I can run up there on Friday (after Wednesday's weather event) and take a look at things. If things look favorable, I can tow both ways on Saturday. Jack

Joe   I can tow   In the snow   Even if the temperature   Is well below   ZeroJack

Thanks, Mike — it is a smaller diameter – 2.5″,, and not a lot of volume either if, as planned, I use a 6XL motor, so I'm a little concerned about residual hot gasses expanding up into that space. I do have two 1/4″…   Read more»

I can tow out,,, but I have to be in Windsor at 2 PM on Saturday,, so someone else will have to return (unless we quit early for weather related issues).Jack

I also can’t be there,,, as much as I want (since I missed Oktoberfest also).

Mike,Currently planning on setting up my camp trailer out there on Friday afternoon. If you run into any snags,,, or just rather not have to drive those extra miles early on Saturday morning, give me a call or text and…   Read more»

Hey, Bear….

…and less than depleted uranium.

Depleted by how much? Think I’ll give your nose cones a wide berth from now on…

Ken,Cool video – don’t know much about what’s ‘normal’, but did you notice on the super slow motion,, for just a fraction of a second (must be milliseconds in real time) at between T 0:28 and 0:29 (the frame in…   Read more»

Got it – nozzle removed, wrapped in plastic, back in the original cardboard tube, packed safely away in a WWII-vintage ammo box.Always wondered about the plastic, though – any issues with static discharge?

That’s how I interpreted it, Edward. Thanks for the clarification, though. Going downstairs to get it all cleaned up right now…

Good point, Edward,,, how Feynman-like of you to think of that. That’s why we ask.I’ll take it apart this evening…

I’ve told the boss to take this job and…. well hold it for me when I get back. But I will be up Thursday mid-afternoon with little red teardrop in tow to help set up also…

Agree with Joe on using the tracking a few times to work the kinks out. I put up the Miranda 3 times on L1 motors with the tracking and never needed it. So I was comfortable with its functionality when…   Read more»

Dave,I’m firmly planted on the KISS side of the fence. I went with a baby-J in my PML Miranda (and dog collar) for my L2 before I even understood all of the nuances of DD. That Aerial is almost identical…   Read more»

Chad – I’m in Fort Collins and going to the 3-1 launch (assuming the weather gods don’t snow on our parade again)… I can facilitate the transfer. PM me when/where to pick it up.Dave – if the transfer happens, I’ll…   Read more»

Joe… Let’s consider this…Option A – arise early Saturday morning to a bowl of oatmeal and goat bran (or something equally disgusting), and a tepid cup of Earl Grey under the watchful eye of the breakfast police,, and then immediately…   Read more»
