Things have finely turned around with regards to rocketry here in Western Oklahoma; it was getting pretty discouraging out these ways what with the loss of our launch site and the State wide burn ban.
Then there was LDRS for which I had such high hopes. The very first rocket I launched a Wildman Darkstar mini, went Dorothy Gale which put me in a bad mood. Then while looking for it I stepped in a hole, which from the feel of it shattered by back.
Not wanting to scream, puke and collapse at the launch site thus necessitating them calling an ambulance, (I hate big drama) I instead saddled-up and left. Ten hours to drive home; a distance that took me about four to drive when heading up to Argonia.
But now the burn ban has been lifted in the critical county where my Local NAR group has just procured a brand new launch field able at this time to accommodate low impulse H motors.
Tomorrow will be our first official club launch at this new site and I have a bunch of stuff I hope to fly.
I did get a successful Cert 1 flight at High Frontiers 8 in Pawhuska so it hasnt been all bad news.
Oh!! And somebody found my Darkstar Mini I had lost and returned it to me at HF 8.
And then I lost my Rocketarium Maxtermind. You win some. . .
