Well, we still don’t know how the fire-bans might effect the launch, but in case the launch is a go we will need to do a round of equipment cleaning and battery charging.
We can’t put if off any longer.
Sunday – October 3rd, 9:00am to noon at my place south of Longmont.
Let me know if you can make it as I want to put together a signup sheet so that I can contact you if there are any changes.
Thanks!
Ed Dawson
Hi Ed,
Sign me up. I have a dozen or so new whips, but they’ll need clips.
I’ll be there.
Ken.
Ed, Thanks for hosting ❗
Count me in 😀
I suggest that we replace as many clips as possible instead of cleaning them. Does the club have any alligator clips or a good source to buy them in bulk? Will one size fit all the whip leads?
I can get them if need be, just want to get the right ones. 10 amp?
If anyone else has a soldering iron please bring it. 🙂
I’ll call DeBelle, let him know about cleanup, We will be there. Bring any cleaning rags, green pads, simple green etc, you might wish to contribute for the cause. Do we need to bring anything else? 😯 . Joe is on the phone. Survey being conducted.
Glad to hear Chili Blast was successful. 😀 Too bad I couldn’t make it. 😡 See you all Sunday!! 😀 Ken S.
I will REALLY try to be there.
I’ll be there of course.
Just for general info, I have recorded the driest month precip. total for the month of Sept. since I have been living here SW of Berthoud.
32 yrs.
0.07″ of precip.! normal is 1.24″! So it is dry out there! State wide averages are way down also.
Some areas not as dry as here, but Northeastern Colorado is way down on precip.
Food for Thought…… See you all at cleanup
Clean up and maintainence is a great idea and I’ll be there. Thanks for hosting.
I will miss you guys as Evonna and I are going to the Utah desert for a week… Joe, if you gather everyone’s name and pull one from the hat I’ll donate a $20 gift certificate to 3 Dogs…. that would make for a nice shock cord (or down payment on something more substantial if you wish). Sorry I can’t make it –

We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
