Not to mention the Sept 11 Tune Up. I’ve 9 flights slated for Oktoberfest…
Thanks Joe!
Hey Steve,
9, very cool! How many different birds?
I’ve got nearly all the engines from Joe already
My theoretical dance card:
Sudden Habanero Rush on a Longburn K
Toothless on a J-449 Blue Streak
My new Pork Arrow on a J-380 SS (maiden flight) then a L-990 BS
Oops on a H-237 SS
New Maxxed Norad on an I-236 BS, then a J-425 BS
Git Along Little Doggie on a J-530
Stang (my 5 fin, assuming it survives Sept 11 launch) K-300 Longburn
Two Longburns and an L shot in 54mm should be interesting. All with my DC-30 in them…
I am trying to finish another rocket, a Phobos, but I am running our of time. I did not start my 75mm MT Intimidator. Rats. On the other hand, I’ve a good set.
Looking forward to seeing what everyone else is up to too.
FYI – I moved this topic to a more appropriate forum.
I’ll be flying my L3 bird (still not painted yet) on an M795 – expecting 22K+. Also probably flying my L2 bird on an L1300BB and possibly also on a L730. Finally, I have a nice little minimum diameter 54mm bird (no name yet) but really optimized for the K975ST load that’s been sitting in my magazine for a couple years now. Possibly 25K+ on that flight.

Wow Warren
I think Oktoberfest is gonna roar…
I also like the name “Still Not Painted Yet”

Very nice – 22k on your L3? It must weigh less than mine. I don’t have much scheduled for Oktoberfest, but I will be sending my L3 up (also still not painted :D) on my most powerful, fastest, and highest boost to date. I have an N5800 C-star for it, which should go to mach 2+ and 27k or so. Other than that, I don’t have a whole lot planned – perhaps a stint as LCO at some point, and maybe some small, fun flights on G-J motors. No real specific plans though.
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.
