    I'm mostly coming to see the ginormous rockets and socialize, so I don't have any huge projects. I will be bringing a couple of 3-4 inch rockets with 38 or 54mm mounts though, just so I can put something up (I haven't flown in far, far too long). I considered bringing the Ultra Kraken with an N4100, but I don't want to risk my 98-6XL casing that close to BALLS, so it will have to wait until some other time.

    That is one sexy fleet! Can't wait to see these flight! I'm only bringing three rockets. My L1,2 and 3 certs. The motors will be an H225 for L1, K940 for L2 and M2200 skid for L3. It should be a fun time!

    Nice lineup Jeff! Can't wait to see them fly.

    My main project is one that should have flown last year:

    3" minimum diameter Arcas on an M840. Other than that I hope to fly a few test motors that I have been working on.

    Chuck,
    I have been wanting to see your Arcas go up. Hopefully the winds will be were you want them this year so you can get it off. Weather outlook looks favorable, knock on wood.

    J, my rockets aren't finished yet, and I killed all of my carbon rockets. Second, my girlfriend was busy when I took that picture. When my fleet is finished, I'll make sure to add her in there, just for you And no Crazy Jim, I'm talking about real, flesh and blood woman, not a playboy.......

    Im flying the Mad Dog on a K1200, the Wildman Dual Deploy on a K740 C-Star, and the Wildman Jr will fly in a dragrace loaded with a J350 or J570 (we'll see) either way it should be cool. If I have any funds left and Sparkies are a go - I'd love to fly a 6 grain Skid in the Mad Dog.
