8) Guys and gals, Due to the very poor weather in the mountains, and the thought of 600+ miles in rain and snow, I have called off my trip to the Launch. You guys know I don’t do this very often, but the trick to making some 20 trips a year to launches on the Front Range SAFELY, is knowing when to say when. I know Denver and the launch site my be OK for a Launch, but those mountains are in between here and there. I will be over for the launch down at the ranch on 12/15 and the 1/5 NCR launch. I also will be at the 1/12 Annual Meeting. I hope to see you then. Tim 😥

Dont take any chances Tim, not worth it.

Well Bruce you still have that J350 and a case?
I dont know, if I dont get that altimeter and 9volt to fit in that small CPR3000 hole I wont be flying anyway. 🙁

Scott,

I have a J350 and case available if you need one, but I will not be at the launch tomorrow. I’d need to get it to you this afternoon.

Scott, if all you need for your altimeter is apogee deploy, I can provide a Parrot altimeter and battery which can fit anywhere. And you would get cool 200 Hz 2-axis accel data for your flight as a bonus. 😀

I’m about 80% sure I’m going tomorrow, depending on some family member illesses.

Scott, I’m not going to get there. Did you borrow one from Ed? I’m so sorry. But listen, if things don’t work out, there’s January.

Thanks for the heads up Tim. I’m out of HPR motors so it would have been a bummer to go up and have you not be there. I’ll just take the $50 of gas I would have used and put it in my “Vertical Assault Fund”. 😀

Maybe it’s time for me to start thinking about an LEUP 😡

Bret, a LEUP with storage. 🙄

Tim, been checking out the weather. You made the right choice.
