When do we expect to have a definite go or no go for MHM? I need to know how hard to work on all the stuff I’ve been procrastinating on 😛

As of right now, I’m assuming it’s a go. I have my motor built (it needed grain gluing, and I wanted to make sure it was thoroughly cured…), and I’m in the process of reassembling my e-bay and recovery system for my Mayhem flight. The weather at Nunn shows above average rain last month and a pretty substantial amount of rain this month, with more forecast for later this week and next week (though obviously forecasts that far out are somewhat unreliable), so the weather’s a definite improvement over what it’s been for quite some time.

Hey,
Procrastinating, easy to do with so many irons in the fire. Just finished clear coating nose cone, and forward section of my Kestrel. Booster still in primer, little more sanding before I’m happy. Don’t think the Gizmo will make it for MHM, cutting and AV bay into the side of fiberglass tube with jumbo fins already attached ,proves to be tricky.
Slide, shuffle, spin, and repeat.

Until we hear otherwise, MHM is a GO. Hope to be setting the range on Thursday, with flights ready to go on Friday morning. Windows are still in negotiations and may not be determined until each day but are supposed to be available each day. Lots of help needed throughout the weekend with Range Fire Spotters, Pad Managers, Button Pushers, Registration and Raffle winners. Quit procrastinating – get ready to fly something!

Now if only I could heed my own advice.

Set up time and drivers still to be determined. Thanks Mike – I’ll let you know. In fact, I’ll try and let everyone know what’s happening as soon as I have the necessary confirmations from the AHJ’s.

Range Boxes were all showing 12 plus two weeks ago – at least the ones we used. Fire Extinguishers have been re-filled and charged as of yesterday and squeezed back into the trailer. If necessary, we could re-charge boxes on site if someone brings the charger/adapter thingy – I’ll bring the generator.
