Who is planning to come? Any early projects? I am bringing M,N,O,P.... Orange Crush is coming again-with the P-in a 72" long case.
Rumor has it that Sharon is flying her Gizmo XL DD for her L3, but I'm sworn to secrecy and can't talk about it. I will bring some old reloads and burn some APCP, not sure what in, but it will probably be black and have split fins....
Wow! Kinda early to dream about Airfest. It's certainly on my calendar if nothing else to hang out and fly some "small" rockets. Looking forward to it and meeting more of these great rocket folks.

Make sure to come shop for new reloads to replace those old ones
Speak for yourself! I start thinking about next year's Airfest when driving home from Airfest

Wayne? Humble question...Does Sharon need a TAP? I need to TAP somebody...please...
Can only be there on Sunday but, you can blame Griffin and, Claude for this. Might have to bring my Gizmo XL on a CTI O-3400. I know not the most exciting use of a motor like that but, hey it's AIRFEST and, it's about flying with friends.
52'' rocket on a 49'' O-Motor? Nah, never seen anything like that before! :lol:

Tim Lehr and Roy Polmanteer are my TAPs. Tim wants a bar napkin with the electronics drawn on it and Roy wants 13 bar napkins with my entire build written in large block letters....I guess they are trying to avoid a repeat of Wayne's 116 page manifesto from last year. :eyeroll:
It is kind of you to offer.

See that right there, tells ya you're dealing with a couple of gill-hooligan-gypsy-rocket-wandering types, a bit lacking in the nuances of "Tapptizing".
All I want is a bar napkin with a DRINK on it!
Skip the large block letters...replace with block ice.
Regarding "the" L-3 flight, [I purposely did not use "attempt"] I firmly believe some type of "libation" should be included as a payload for celebratory purposes post flight!
Therefore I am proclaiming the following: "FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION"
Boy are you in for it girly......girl! :grin:

The Wocket will fly in a J244...I know it's made for the J90 but I've seen too many videos of them not performing well on those motors, especially if there's any appreciable wind.
Oooh! You're gonna have to let me know when you're gonna fly it!
I wanna be able to see it!!!
(Hopefully I won't be in transit to KS...)

My plan is to launch it as soon as practical after the range opens Friday am, always dependent on weather of course.
I would never fly a Woket on a J90 at Argonia. Come on, they define calm as 10mph wind. That thing turns into the wind like there is no tomorrow. The J315R is a cool flight for it. Just keep one thing in mind, you need to reduce the amount of BP to the bare minimum. The volume you are pressurizing is tiny and a stock 54mm charge will blow that mount out of there and if it does not break the shock cord, it will tear the mount out. I only figured out how to drill the delay on a J90 right once out of about five times. I decided it was silly trying to get a consistent delay of less than four seconds and put a timer in the tip and use a break wire to start it. I use 1/2G of BP to deploy the parachute.
