I know there are more than a couple of you out there for the Patriot race.

Don't be shy, let's see what you got waiting to hit the skies at MWP 15.

Usually Friday night after the launch all the racers will meet at Wildman's shop and go over all the particulars of the race.

I got my last I180 Skidmark from csrocketry. Looks like he has 8 in stock at the moment.

My planned flights are:

HPR:
8" scratch built PAC-3 MSE - Loki 76/8000 M1969 sparky (L3 cert)
4" Binder Design Excel - CTI 54-3G J295
3" scratch built - Loki 38/240 H90
3" scratch built - CTI 38-3G I180 sparky

MPR:
Estes Scion - Aerotech F20
Madcow Solar Express - Aerotech F20

LPR:
Estes MIRV - C6 + 3xA10 (fun one to fly)

Normally, I'd bring more MPR and launch my Binder on 1-2 more motors, but I've got to spend time making sure my L3 is nailed down.
 
I'm hoping to bring back my rocket ExPAC with the active stabilization and an improved steerable recovery system. We'll see how it goes.

Ill bring my Top Gunn out to play this year...
Also, Eric, if you need an I180SK, i have one for you.

-Top Gunn: K520 or equivalent
-5" Blue Iguana: L2500ST
-5.5" Black and Yellow rocket, Kosdon L585DH
-Loc K-load AT K458 or AT L400 or mystery Vulcan? 98mm L something or another
-Loc EZK-125 on an AT K125 looooooonnggg burn
-Wildman Extreme L3200VM
 
How long will registration be left open?

I don't have clearance to take Friday off and I may end up having to coach on Sunday. So until those things are figured out, there isn't much sense in registering or filling out the volunteer form.

What will I bring this year? Ummmmmm... ya know, that is a real good question. Something pointy with fins I guess...


And is camping still allowed?

Registration should be open until midnight on Friday, Oct. 27. We need time to get everything printed and sorted out before the launch

You have a K125? I saw one of these 98mm bad ass motors burn and burn and burn . 18 seconds of pure fun . Please post a pic of the motor for all of us .

10' on the tripod stands and I think 15' at the away cell.
Sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong

- I stand corrected - disregard my above answer

But how long is this one?
