Saturday????

[Ed Dawson]

Ken,

No volunteers yet. The trailer is still at my house. Can you tow from there and return to Pierce?

[Kenneth ReillyParticipant]

Ed, I can do it.

Most awesome, thanks Ken. I’ll be calling in the waiver tomorrow (Thursday). Given the current forecast and the shortened daylight hours, flyers should get there early to take advantage of this opportunity to launch.

What time do we expect to start setting up?

[MikeSModerator]

I will be at work thinking about You all.

Good luck.

Have Fun.

Set up at the Atlas site is a little easier done as it is a smaller launch area to fill. Doesn’t take that long to unload the trailer. That said, I’d be figuring we’ll do one rack of four for low power, maybe both, and probably about four pads for High Power, maybe eight, depending on turnout and demand. Some assembly required. A few extra bodies makes the fun go quicker as long as the bodies know what they are doing. Instruction provided. We’re not big clock watchers but if the waiver for High Power is about nine, then about eight-sixteen to eight-twenty seven is time enough to get started.

I’ll try to roll in around 8:21 them. 8 was my high school number and 21 is obviously Forsberg, seems like a good place to start.

Not a bad launch today. It cracked 40 degrees for maybe an hour or two. Wind was never over 10 mph at the surface. Lots of midpower flights in the G-H range. Think we pushed about 70 into the sky, including 2 K motors. Had one large rocket core sample and one rocket separate on boost, but there wasn’t too much blood and fiberglass on the prairie. A lot of people showed up and everyone was thankful for simply being able to fly again.

Sorry I missed it, I did manage to be 5th in line to get my KBCO Cd’s this year though, then off to get a Christmas tree. Sounds like everyone had a good time, glad to hear it, it was a much needed launch!

I’ll get the logs posted here shortly. Officially, 27 different flyers put up 64 flights, 42 Class One (A thru G) and 22 Class Two (H and above). Two successful L1 certs. Clear to partly cloudy, calm above and below.

FWIW, my wife was 25th in line of 600 some in Boulder, got her two copies. Go figure. I went in at 5:45 PM and could have gotten as many copies of Studio C Volume 22 as I wanted from the Boulder store.
