Oh, OK. Looking forward to seeing it come out!! May have to buy some of those in the near future. :grin: Yeah, but as Gary said, I can't make it.
Thanks,

So which day do you arrive Pyro???
Might be a fight over it. I threw in an extra rocket just in case.
The spray bottle is loaded and pumped!
All that in a JEEP? Pictures or it didn't happen.
We are inbound to the rocket pasture today.

Okay Charlie- I'l take the first production run! Perfect for the African-I-Zed. I'd love to see the plume on three of those at once. I may be convinced to give one to Kenrico.

You should have seen the look on his face at LDRS earlier this year when I replied to his comment about-
*Snip* *Snip*
I'd would have made an excellent father of daughters...
Seriously though, the look on his face afterward made me think- I don't think he realiazes 99% of the time I'm telling a joke. Am I on 99% or 1% mode?
A road trip with Matt would be an awesome time, it's just too bad he didn't pick Purdue (right up the road). We will see his boundless energy out there someday for sure!
Pretty sure it's more about 99.9999999% of the time you're joking.

Finished rocket cradle, nearing the packing phase, man I need a lil enclosed trailer, but that would be the only thing I use it for - rocketry so it's not in the plans. Now a 24' I could use but not for rockets.
We will be leaving Friday- since I'll be bring my son and taking him out of school part of the day
He would like to take his Tripoli Mentor test on Saturday
Now let the packing begin

:lol:
You have Wicked Ways with your Wood dude...
That didn't sound right did it
Everyone make sure to stop by and, sign Nick's motor casing for luck! Hey- it's my hardware anyway and, I will be cleaning it post trip home. So as long as you don't "Tag" it with spray paint...we're good.
For the first timers to Airfest I always recommend taking the trip to Hutchinson to visit the COSMOSPHERE Air and, Space museum!
Well worth the time and, effort.
Watch your speed on highways too. Kansas has some incredible smooth/straight highways to let her rip and, then find out too late that you found a hidden Smokey and, I'm NOT talking the cute little cartoon bear.

Added green spray paint to the packing list...check!
So I'm prepping for Airfest today. I realized that my Eggfinder is still on the default channel. I assembled my receiver into the handy handheld case (by Additive Aerospace), and did so a few weeks ago, not realizing that I need to reprogram my unit. What a pain to assemble -- nothing against the handiwork, it's just a pain to get everything put together and hold it together while it gets assembled.
Is anyone attending Airfest that has the standard LCD Receiver that has the connectors on the inside easily accessible and would be willing to allow me to use it for a few minutes to change frequencies? I know it's a lot to ask, especially if yours is assembled into a tight case like mine. I may go ahead and disassemble mine tonight, time pending, to do that, but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks!

I can help you with that Mike. I have a big red Jeep with a Texas flag on the back and a red ez-up, I'll be there today around 3:00.

Ok Wayco, here are your pics. In all fairness it is a 4 door and I have done this many times. It just involves playing tetris with the cargo for about 30 minutes. 2 coolers and the ez-up go on the hitch rack. Heading north in one hour
Swell! I will see what I can do to locate you as soon as I arrive...
I will PM you my cell as well.

Hotel for us no-truck-having tiny-old-car driving weirdos.
I tried to explain my need for a large truck to haul a big camp trailer and a bunch of rockets, but the missus seemed unsympathetic ^_^

Nice job, I really like the pockets on the back door. Mine has a rolled up tow strap mounted there. How does it handle with the rack hanging off the back?
I think I saw where you are parked, we are on the back row with the AZ flag. I will try to look you up today.
I wish I could go! *whine*
Have fun, everyone. I expect to see lots of pics and videos soon.
Weekend forecast in Argonia:
Fri - cloudy, high 86, winds 9 mph
Sat - mostly sunny, high 88, winds 8 mph
Sun - sunny, high 92, winds 7 mph
Mon - sunny, high 93, winds 12 mph
Not too shabby of a forecast. A bit breezy for me. I like 0-2 mph winds, but who doesn't.

[His sons never left the safety of the inside of his pickup when he was over here assembling the motor the other day...] I vunder vey?

I wish if someone would live stream AIRFEST, LOL. It would kinda cool.
It's sort of a joke, but it would be really sweet if someone did that..
Thanks,

Aerotech had one on their FB page a while ago, although from the 30 seconds that I watched, it was mostly them just wandering around.
Anyone from Tulsa heading up to Argonia this weekend with a trailer or room in the back of their truck? I have an 8' tower I leave up in Argonia for Kloudbusters to use, but I need to get it hauled back to Tulsa. I need the tower for for BALLS. I plan to run up tomorrow to get it, but thought I would see if anyone is going up that could save me a trip. Thanks
