You know all of you are welcome in my shop. I have a large space (1800 sq ft) with high ceiling, abundant workbench space, and heating and air conditioned. However, you may wish to think about carpooling 😉 Seriously, if you’re in the area, look me up and see if we can get together.
I am up for another weekend out there! I am way jealous of your shop, it was awesome having the room to do things on such an awesome work bench
Thanks James, anytime. If anyone is looking to relocate, think about heading south. I work at a really great place and I would love another rocketeer down here.

I love NM, but – that would make the 6hr drive to KS a tad bit too long. 😛
This is a great idea that I would love to do if I were there. I’d suggest you guys have a gathering and decide on a project – something that really pushes you (staging? Minimum diameter? Camera? altitude attempt?) Collectively, 3-5 guys can do something that none of them could do individually.
My suggestion is that you don’t just bring together a group with a leader who has all the skills – go into it knowing that the individuals all have to bring a piece of knowledge.
Said another way, I know how to fly an “N”. I don’t have the foggiest idea of how to stage two “G” motors. I’d love to work with someone who has staged something and we do a K-to-K project. I’ll never do it otherwise.

You’re on John. I prefer not doing it minimum diameter but that too sounds interesting (challenging).

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.
