I am aiming for 8 – 8:15 for the trailer at the sight, maybe earlier if I can get the grandson moving. See you in the morning!

I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to sleep I’m so excited we are actually going to get to fly! See you all tomorrow.

For those who missed it, A Good Time Was Had By All !!!!!!At least DeBelle and I had an exceptional day. A big Thank You to all, who help set up and clean up at day end. And to our FIRE crew, we could a lost it there for a minute or two… Thanks everyone. Ken S. 😀

Oh geez, don’t tell me we had another fire

[Chris LaPanse]

Yep. Not a large one, fortunately, due in part to luck and in part to the incredibly fast response from everyone when the cry of “FIRE” went out. It was probably 10 by 40 or 50 feet before we got it out.

at a pad? or a landing?

[Chris LaPanse]

Pad. It took everyone by surprise though, since it did not occur immediately following a launch – it was a couple minutes after one. It must have been smoldering slightly for a while until the wind fanned it just right (or something like that).

[Steve JensenParticipant]

Weather was nice, a bit of a breeze below, but at altitude not much. Pawnee is a bit green, but we could use a major rain before MHM.

Thanks to all!
