    ROCstock at Lucerne

    Well, SOMEBODY had to start a thread for it! Just wanted to know who's going, what you're bringing, and if you have any cool night launchers. I'm only bringing 3: my edible HPR, my virus, and Crimson Scourge. I plan to relax and ENJOY the launch this time, maybe take a few hundred pictures and videos. Come on people, let's hear from you.
    Fair winds, soft landings, and total victory! -

    I'm planning on going up for the day on Saturday. If things work out, maybe I'll go up Friday afternoon and camp out, or camp out from Saturday to Sunday. I've been to one launch in 2+ years, and probably won't have much money $$$ to burn, but I gotta launch something.

    I wanna know how the Edible Rocket tasted...

    Please take pics of this launch for the thread. Truly a scratch build.

    For the 6" version you can get Kelloggs,Kraft Marshmellows,Domino Sugar and Keebler to sponsor it.

    Almost. Needs rail buttons and a dusting of satin clear (if it does not mess up the paint!!!). Pictures this weekend. But understand it's SEMI scale... More "Astrobee'ish" not Astrobee. Now that I have data, the next one will be different.

    Does that mean you'll be there? Perhaps I will come a little earlier and stay over Friday night.

    I don't think I'll be launching much (I do have an H400 I need to burn), but I will be RSOing, so if you have your real name on the forum, I'll definitely notice you at some point next weekend.
