Mile High Mayhem

[Jack MatthewsModerator]

Sounds like a plan… per my conventional e-mail reply, I'm available to tow both ways. I plan to set up my camp trailer on Thursday and will retrieve the rocket trailer on Thursday PM. Should have a passel o' people around to get set up early on Friday. Sun comes up @ 0529, BTW. Rise and shine.

I have a hybrid that will require the window.  It sims to just over 32,000'.  I'll take any day I can get for it.

Edward,

We'll look at the weather and winds aloft carefully.  Thanks for the “Head's Up”.  

[edwardModerator]

You are welcome Joe.  

 

Also, if anyone else is going to fly a hybrid let me know – that way I can have all the equipment there.

Mr. Jack Matt. I will run and PU the trailer Thursday afternoon. I will set-up about

a third of the launch. (pads , line poles and such) Leave the tables and electronics for Friday

morning. Please let me know if there has been any major changes in set-up.

I will wait till you show to leave (if your not there) You can take your time getting

there. I am off all week. Plus…. 1/3 of the reason I got this van was to haul the launch

trailer. This would be a good time for it.

If thats OK…. Let me know.

PSSSSS. I am guessing the trailer is in the normal PU place.

PSS again. Will there be Port-A Pots for the weekend?.

And. What is the FEE for the weekend at registration?

thanks MIke S.

If not I will be there thursday afternoon.

I know the 1010 Red Pad will be there, is that the longest 1010 rail that the club has?  

I would use the swingset but that uses doorknobs for rail buttons.

For my hybrid I'll probably be moving the pad I'm using out further along the road to gain some more distance.

It is an N hybrid and I'd like some additional standoff.

We are 80% set up. A lot of people started showing at about 3:00 pm. had great help

setting up.

Notes:

1. Construction between Pierce and Nunn will slow you down about 30 minutes.

2. The road from county road 122 to the launch site have been graded and topped with a

white gravel type stuff. Well done.

3. Pawnee is beautiful. Grass not as tall as expected but growing well. Green and lush

with the dry tops from last year showing. Fire hazord way down but still possable.

4. Eight mid and high power pads up and two away pads. One closer to the road as

requested. Eight low power pads as well.

5. All that is left to do is place the boxes, and put fence posts in for the ropes.

6. Friday shows to be a little breezey, saturday and sunday is to be near

perfect.

Come out and have some fun.

A wonderful weekend of launches.

Thank to all that orginized the launch. All went smooth. Had lots of help setting up and tearing down. It was a snap. 🙂

I will post what pictures I have. Had my cameras all jacked up,

did not find out till Sunday. 931 MB of picktures trash and what was left were not a lot better.

Very few launch pictures came out till sunday.

Here are the pictures. Out of five or six hundred. Here is what was useable.
