What, like, 2 days from now? Wow, a new record in short notice launches... And to think just a few short months ago, you were spanking QCRS for not fully advertising one of our launches over a week early...

WHAT!!!:y: NONE of you "Quad Critters" is over here promoting your event?

You mean.....one of the Indiana Rocketry boys has too do that?c:

Ok.....May 26th-27th at Princeton Illinois (the home of Midwest Power) from 9am-5pm? each day....15K waiver.....no windows.....

But, the Indiana folks throw a great launch and the field is A-W-E-S-O-M-E, so I'll be scrambling to rearrange my work schedule. Hope to see you all there.

I thought I was on the mailing list before, but I am now for sure. I did see the launch schedule on the IR website, though, and I couldn't resist the opportunity the toss some back at Gus. :smile:

I'll be there Saturday. I'll have my Gizmo XL, but I currently don't have a motor. I'm going to ask around at the end.......

The Gross family will be there for both days. We have a lot of rockets to fly that didn't fly at Midwest Power.

Sather, David.....I have NO excuse for not getting this out earlier. It seems like everytime i turned around this week and, last that i've constantly been asked about cert. flights/help by fellow rocketeers/vendors coming....etc..etc....
So this morning...sitting on the crapper i noticed "something" was missing.....:y:
Wheres my $%#'n LAPTOP!! *flush* Someone get me my laptop!! *crash* President DOWN!! I REPEAT THE PRESIDENT IS DOWN!!

And, that's when i declared an Emergency War Order..........

Toliet paper is not something to be pulled on for support when standing up rather quickly........

It sure wasn't the same without the "Lumberjack and Hot-tub Traveling Acceleration Show" at the field......:sigh:
I KNOW you both had a good excuse on this one....:yawn:

Got a two day launch in early December.....might not to miss this one.....
Between the both of you, i KNOW you have enough Newtons to put a Cadillac Escalade into Low Earth Orbit.....:surprised:

I will be looking forward to all the neat and, wonderful toys you bring to our events.....

We are the Chicago Rocket Mafia....."We don't die we multiply....and, when we fly we bring machine guns to a knife fight."
