"The Motherload" donation to NCR… Ideas?

Here’s a thought: what if we picked a date and a venue, and attempted to see just how many of these 70+ H125’s we could get off the ground simultaneously? I’m thinking not so much a contest with an entry fee as an event with a participation fee. It would be a huge challenge to get enough rails, rods and launch controllers together in one place at one time to get that many high power birds in the air at once. Plus, it would be quite a spectacle. Just getting that much equipment together would require involvement of several clubs, I would think.

I like it. 8)

Could we just have Mike S. build enough Swift 220 upscales and we could just set them on the ground – no rod/rail needed 🙂

Wouldn’t take that many rails if you know how to cluster well! 😈

I was even thinking that we could mount three rockets per rail, one on each rail side, front (top) and each side… and we could, except for fins smashing into each other. Thinking outside the pad… not always good. 😯

You could put a stop in each side and stager them!
