A bit windy. Hot days in the mid-80’s and beautiful camping temps at night with lows of 41 or so.Mike Huber and Scott Corlis (Sorry Scott if I misspelled) had lovely Level 3 flights. Congrats to those guys!Saw a small…   Read more»

Seaboundsupply.comAccepts PayPal. I buy eye nuts from them. Hard to find them on their site due to their mediocre search tool, but they are cheap. Search under “eye”. Shipping isn’t cheap, so order ten or more. Each one is under…   Read more»

It’s always fun to see these.

On the tips for carbon clothed tip to tip I’ve used Pro-Line from Wildman. I coated the leading edge for about 4 mm. Otherwise I’ve used Aeropoxy (Giant Leap) laminating resin successfully. I’ve hit Mach 2 with it without issues….   Read more»

Planning on December 7th. The date is rather ominous…

I’m in for number two too!

I think we did this one a few years ago. Two launches of the same rocket to get the closest to 10,000 feet on the combined flights. You must call out both engines before the first launch and flights less…   Read more»

As I understand it, two predetermined motors in the same rocket. One a V-Max to test the build strength. I guess we need some rocket specs and I was thinking 38mm MT to keep pricing cheap.

It sort of tests the rocket build strength, the VMax that is. An H or I motor set to keep price down. Also need to check with Joe on availability of the motors in question.

I plan on being there.Thanks for towing.

What a picture! What a great shot of the sustainer just after separation!I can almost see me waving!

or not. I lost a rocket with a CTI Pro29 case in it. It should have green tape on it (I think) and a a tapered closure. It means I didn’t friction fit it tightly enough in my High Jinx,…   Read more»

Even the pain of my Prairie Punch was nice to see.I really appreciate your photo efforts.

We appreciate your Recon work. It seems we get all extremes, drought, lush green, and mud. We might get a green prairie this summer after all. Though, we need a few years of greenery to offset the last few years.Anyhow…   Read more»

Well, soup beats fire ban!

Another yellow and black theme too,The K-650 is fun!. It will go high. I am bringing Dog Collars, Astros, Big Red Bee Beacons and Big Red Bee GPS out. If you need tracking it’s all available.Steve

I think I may camp out that night. It’s been too long since I slept in a tent on the prairie.I’ll also be ready for helping with set up Friday AM.Steve

for flying and another $10 in raffles!Looking forward to the mini-Mayhem. Hope it’s a go. More rain is wanted. Last week’s launch looked pretty un-green to say the least.

I spent a good two hours tracking and finding my rocket and didn’t get to see most of the launches.My Big Red Bee Beacon paid off. I unfortunately didn’t get to fly Sunday either.Hope to see you in May.Steve

That green rocket was my Tethys (aka Toothless). I lost it. I sent it up without a tracker. Think it hit 7,000 feet.Maybe someone will find it.Steve
