With the weather forecast the way it is. We will try to launch the Patriot Friday why the winds are down.

Starting to load up truck. 5.5 Phoenix and 4 inch darkstar loaded. Woket loaded. I and the wife have nasty colds. But we will have bells on.. Finsh up in the Am.
 
Just prepped 2 e- bays, and the interstage coupler on my 2 stage darkstar, which will fly CTI L805W to a CTI K360W, on sunday morning, possibly in a drag race with "the chai town hustler", "the lumberjack", and "the hot tub(I had to look those up :gavel:) Expecting about 19,000 feet!

19,000' sound about right. The L805 puts my extreme Darkstar to just under 10'000' last summer.
 
Hot-tub? Lumberjack? Call me when you hit I-65 south this morning..... I'm running over too Chi-town right now. I'll show you two "Homogenized Milk" drinking mofo's a FULL Truck Drivers "Moon."

You're going the wrong way! :p
 
9:30 and I'm still here in 'Sconsin. Any birds terrorize the skies yet? I'm dying here!

Have fun and be safe!

Your brother and dad flew a SuperBalls M for the first flight of the weekend, and scored a free sausage and egg sandwich from the Scouts. Claude just tore a massive hole in the sky with a perfect N3301 flight. We miss ya!

Good job Cayembergs!:wave:
Good job Claude!:wave:

Patriot info Dave? Is she going up today as bumped up?

Got calls from Manny and, the "Two fun loving Rocket Guys from Illi-noize" EARLY this morning!

First call from Jason was...... "Ha...Ha....your still where?" Were on I-65 this morning ALREADY!!:tongue:
Second one was the "Panic....we, left our C-4 at home on the kitchen table for the Mega's separation charges!!!!!":facepalm:

Did anyone bring some spare C-4 out yet too correct the problem?

Jason's kids ARE going too have soooooooo much fun with the "Care Package" Daddy left at home.......:rofl:
 
A little early deployment. A little damage but repairable. Everyone safe and had a great time. Tim got the Mega up also with main at apogee. Recovering from trees now!image.jpg
 
Arrived. 2 flights today... Woket.. Badd Azz. 5 inch JART 2251 feet J250 skid... Let's eat..
 
Griffin won the skid drag race, we settled on closest to 5K,he got 4900,I got 2567,(hell my rocket weighed in at 85#),the other 2 were around 6600 and 8800. Jason received his booty as promised, one ProX K535 RR. Congrats Jason!!
 
We got there late Friday afternoon, had two rockets prepped, so Dave said "Fly 'em!" SO I didn't need anymore encouragement. Fly my Yank Ent 4" IRIS on a AT K805 Green to 5524 feet; finally made the Mile High club :w:

Then flew my PML 4" Endeavour on a AT K456 Dark Matter to 4205 feet. Cool motor. Dave R thought I got closest to the pad with that one. The best dual deploy I've done lately. I think both rockets got filmed, so gotta buy the DVD now!
Then off to dinner to a place that served a burger with peanut butter and jalapenos on it :surprised: not for me. I got the farmhouse burger with bacon and egg
(sorry Gus, I left off the smoked Gouda and chipotle ketchup :puke:) . Good food. Good people to have dinner with. A good day!

Jackson's rebuilt and repainted Ultimate Darkstar on an M 1790 Skidmark.

So sorry to be missing all the fun. Sounds like a great launch.

Au revoir!

Got home about 30 minutes ago. Unloaded the car and took a shower. I just wanted to thank Indiana Rocketry for a great launch. You guys put a ton of time and effort into Thunderstruck and it shows! Can't wait to see all the pictures and video!
 
Thanks to all of the Indiana Rocketry elected officials and the hard working volunteers. It was a great launch. I have had a great time all 4 years!!! Greg Olson-Elgin,IL.
