You are right on the button there, Bruce – the rocket has a bit of a mind of its own on gameday. Incidentally, I did not know that about the Loki darts (4 fins, etc.)
I had an amazing amount of bad luck on my first three attempts, and no doubt some good luck on my last three.
As I won’t need the 30K window at MHM, I haven’t asked for one. I’m curious if anyone has? Will it be available? Would love to see some higher attempts….
I have asked for it on Sunday. Im pretty sure I will need it as with Research motors you only have 75% of the waiver to use. I will be pushing Full Throttle up on a large 17 to 18kns N motor. Should be real close to 20K. Definitely no over the top action like yours was JW. BUT still should be a pretty good flight. I think that anything over 15k is a feat in itself as most flyers will never even fly that high or make an attempt.
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.
