NOW we’re talkin’!

[Ken PlattnerParticipant]

You betcha!

[Jeffrey Joe HintonModerator]

YES! I was thinking you might be headed to Balls instead of visiting with your club here.

I was thinking you might be headed to Balls instead of visiting with your club here.

I was planning on going until I ran out of reasons to go. Pulling the trailer twice as far mostly to watch others fly sort of made me realize that I would have a better time going back up North instead. Its not like I was going to fly anything special up there that I couldn’t fly at the North site. The worst part is that the actual launch location at Black Rock isn’t determined until the day before the launch and there isn’t enough time for me to set up.

Isn’t it the I65 8+ seconds of burn very cool.

I guess the N1000 16 second burn will be twice as cool 😯

What!!! N1000!
I feel it may be time to build an new extention to a 98mm rocket!

I’m getting a brand new CTI dual thrust M motor – it has one grain of Vmax and 4 of Imax, IIRC. It should give 1 second at 600lbf, followed by 4 seconds at 250lbf. Should be a lot of fun 😀

Chris,

That sounds sweet! What day are you thinking of flying and what’s the bird? Are you getting you’re L3 at the same time?

[Chris LaPanse]

No L3 on that one – I’ll be attempting 3 miles and supersonic velocity in my AMRAAM (probably on Saturday), which will be a flight signed off on by a L3 (since I can’t get my L3 on an already built rocket). I’ll probably go for my L3 at MHM instead, though I’m not sure what rocket exactly I’ll be using.

It’ll definitely have a 98 though 😀
