I just wanted to update everyone on the T-Shirt flight that happened Saturday afternoon at LDRS 36. After Matt Fletcher went off to recover his L-3 attempt and, helping to recover John's (Bat-mite) latest flight of his awesome Formula 200.
I finally had some time to prep and, get the flight off the ground. The motor was an M-2000 Skidmark prepared by my good friend Preston Noble of Wisconsin estimated to be an M 2000 with 9800ns/ 4.9 sec burn time stuffed in a AMW 98mm 11,000 casing. Pre flight weight came in at 64#'s and we headed to the away cell...
Altitude reached was a respectable 7305' over Higg's Farm!

Recovered about a mile north of the away cell with shirt safely intact in the nosecone payload bay. Special Thanks to David Fox for his help and, to EVERYONE who signed the Shirt!
Now we go to Bong State Park in Wisconsin next month and, do it again, then present the Shirt to Sabrina. I want her to wear it, not keep it in a closet.
Thanks to everyone at MDRA for putting on a GREAT LDRS event and, sorry about setting the away cell on fire...
