I'd sure like too

thanx, Ben

P.S. why?

I am seriously thinking about going, but if I go I will be flying out to Vegas. I have always driven to launches before. If I do go I will want to fly something and have never flown with a rocket or electronics on a plane.

I think you will be fine. I would put you electronics on you carry on and pack your rockets in a foam peanuts in a suitcase. Never flown but it can't be impossible

thanx, Ben

That might be pushing it a bit...

You could probably take the electronics with you, but the rockets may need to be shipped.

Hi Guy's, That brings up some interest, I have been getting a few emails from flyers asking if they could ship there rockets and hardware to me and then me bring it to the launch? Is this something that is needed? If so let me know and we'll see how big a demand it is. We would have to have a cut off date for shipping, But if something looks like it lagged behind, I could always go back home at the end of the day and check. This time I onlt live 45 mins from Jean dry lake. Thanks, Scott 702 655 2538 [email protected] Just Rockets,Inc/BSD High Power Rocketry

I hate being off topic but is there anyone who knows what to plan to fly at LDRS 26? All I have seen so far looks to be the 2 very big scale BSD Diablo and the Thor-x.

I was planning to have my Thor-X done by then and send it 10K feet.

Well, a 6 inch deuce is flying on skidmarks...

I'm hoping to have my 4x upscale Manta Bomber ready. While it's not huge, still it should be big compared to the original. I am also working on a scratch built 6" rocket. More like an Echo....
