I know pyrobob won't be there tomorrow. I have a bunch of e-matches if you need a few.Stoked for tomorrow! Out of curiosity, does anyone know if the motor vendor out at the site will be selling e-matches for DD? like some Q2G2's or something? I just noticed I was running low when I started packing everything up.

Not the Arapaho!
No, the 38 MD rocket, Aram. The Arapahoe had it's own (not fatal) problem...The freakin (not the word I used at the time) altimeter never detected liftoff, despite having plenty of vent holes (this is still most likely my fault, I'll explain later). Mercifully I decided to leave the motor backup in (which I almost never do), I oversized the drogue, and it landed on top of a fresh furrow. Perfect set of circumstances to come out with no more than normal paint damage from a flight.
Anyhow, happier posts to follow once the GoPro gets downloaded.
Dang I wish I could have made it! Sad my schedule made a sudden (and kinda boring) change making me not make it. Sorry Chris if I left you hanging... I really would have liked to make it.

Saw your other video post. That was a nice looking Arapahoe! What happened?
What altitude did you get out of the Arapaho J and K550W? That was a pretty big grunt it gave at liftoff.
Chris, do you have any photos of the rail launcher? Details?
