Forgot to mention. All four of my launches were recovered without damage (imagine that)

3″ W/G80  /  4″ W/J285  / 5″ W/K630  /  8″ W/L1115P.

Not perfect launches. All went arrow streight. My chut pushed out at epogee on the last two but with the calm weather, never walked far.

The Thor-x upscale (Accelerated Motion) had it's last launch. #4. It has went up on L730 W/2-J285 air starts, L1395 and twice on an L1115.

I had some water in my bacement a couple years ago and it swelled the airframe. Never fit togeather right after. 8″ X 14' 6″ It is hanging proudly from my bacement ceiling.

Hope to see all in Aug.

I have to give a huge thank you to the club and those guys who helped me so much on Sunday with pad setup and rocket loading of Lumpy for what is one of my biggest successful flights to date.  It was the first time I met many of you so I dont remember names but thanks again.  Also, I would love pictures or videos of the flight if anyone has em.

We’ve checked with the District Ranger and we are OK to proceed as planned with the scheduled 6/3-5 launch, subject to normal precautions.   NCR is GO for MileHighMayhem the first weekend of June on the Pawnee National Grassland at NCR’s North Site.  On-site registration will be available Friday, June 3rd, Saturday June 4th and Sunday June 5th.   Limited edition T-shirts have been printed, vendors have been contacted, raffle prizes collected and Port-A-Potties have been ordered for the weekend.  Our waiver will be a constant 20,000’ AGL, with anticipated “windows of opportunity” for higher altitudes shots.  Please let me know ASAP if you’re planning any “window” shots. We anticipate having the range set up and ready by 9 AM on Friday, and we’ll operate until 6 PM.  On Saturday and Sunday, the range and waiver will be open at 8 AM.  Wristbands will be required for ALL flyers and ALL flyers will need to be registered.   The extended weather forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with characteristically light winds and comfortable temperatures for Spring on the prairie with the probability of afternoon thunder showers.  In other words, it should be an awesome weekend for flying.  Please remember that Range Safety is in everyone’s best interest.

 

The Pawnee National Grassland offers the ultimate in rustic, open space self sufficient camping.  We are, however, limited to only one campfire in the established fire pit at the south end of the flight line.  Firewood is nonexistent on the prairie so contributions are always welcomed. 

 

Please treat our National Grassland with respect.  Be considerate and responsible.   If you bring it, be prepared to leave with it.  Please clean up your parking and prep area before you leave and take all of your stuff with you.  

 

Hope to see you out on the range.
