Signed up for a couple of shifts, already, and willing to assist where needed.

Thanks Tim, cant wait to see what your projects are for LDRS.

now put them together . Asked mark if he can make the vinyl for the eye and mean teeth

4" Photon Probe upscale (54mm) - Going for Level 2 with this flight on a CTI K260 longburn


4" Frenzy (54mm)
King Kraken dual deploy (38mm)
G-Force (29mm)
Interceptor-G (29mm)

And I'll be helping with the 2nd flight of the full scale Patriot Missile.

Mark sent me a draft of the eyes for the minon . Will get the vinyl for the Blu -97 there as well after I get the tube and check the diameter

5 inch JART.. Woket.. Darkstar 4... Gizmo XL... Hopefully X15...

Planning on hauling one Big, Honkin, Red, White, and Black Monster for the SCAM gang for the beast's encore flight on a P, along with all the gear and possibly our unistrut pad.

Probably the wife's 5" DD Jart (if we get the DD addition done). On what... Hmmm, what would Tim have?
Maybe her 3" Darkstar if we ever build it.

A number of the 12 yr old daughter's Wildman mini's, her pink flamed on black Drago, and Wild Child of course. She'd kill me if I'd leave them behind. (Then again... Extortion!)

For me? Not sure as the above looks like I'll be busy enough... But I'm going to have a blast!!!

Hopefully as in North American X-15? Stop by the LCO table I'll tell you about the 2 hours I spent in the ST. Louis airport in conversation with a X-15 pilot.

Possible fleet.. I hadn't really thought about it much.
3Demon Fire
Norad
Mutant Mustang (stretched out, chopped up, and dual deploy hack of a mustang)
Badazz MKIII
Estes Ventris
Some scratch built MPR models (vagabruiser, try trident again...)
L2 rocket, which I am still waiting on a launch with clear skies and little wind to test (and weather to paint)
For night launch I have a scratch built saucer and a canted tube twister.
If I have time to build and paint over spring break then I will probably have a Lil Rascal SE, Pirahna, and Squat.

What day are you planning on flying the Patriot? What kind of P will it be flying on? Never been to Thunderstruck and never seen a P motor. Since I'm moving back to Cincinnati from California next month I would like to change that.

Assuming I have a job after I move and can afford flying something I hope to put my Eagle Claw up on a KBA K750 and probably fly some other H-J motors. At the very least I'm coming out to watch. Midwest launches rock!!!

What are the details on the EZI-65 drag race?? Are we using stock built EZI-65s?

From another thread https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?59936-thunder-struck-5-dates

"I'll be instigating an EZI65 with I65DMS motor drag race
Mr. Bob
Starlight Dude "

I think it's just the I 65 motor . Think anything would be up to you . But will let bob say what's what

Getting the sticker shock order figured out . Emails back and fourth . Evil minon will be very cool . Will take days for me to put the hair on the nose cone .

Welcome back to the Midwest!

You'll love Thunderstruck. It's a super launch. And MidWest Power in the fall is not too much further West.

The plans for which day we'll fly the Patriot haven't been set yet, but my guess is that'll we'll shoot for Saturday, watch the weather, and adjust the day if necessary. Last year, we switched to Friday at the last moment due to the forecast. So nothing is set in stone yet. The planned motor is a CTI P8000, like last year. We still have our flight paper work to get approved, so even the motor isn't 100% for sure yet.

For those that haven't seen it yet...



Hope to see you there!

The Patriot is on the Thunderstruck 5 poster, too

- 3" IQSY Tomahawk on an L935 IMAX
- RW Formula 75
- Scratch built AMRAAM

Now that's a motor and a rocket I don't want to miss! I'm probably only going to be able to attend Sat/Sun so hopefully it flies then.

MWP is my favorite launch. I've only been twice(07/08), but hope to be back this year. Looking forward to Thunderstruck.

I'll be flying an "Orange Vest" Saturday Night and, all day Sunday along with my friend "Mixmaster Grand Patriarch" woooork'n the *tables* too keep you jiggy Jive Turkeys happy all weekend long.

Someones got too do it...... Rich is probably going to have too take a big *Whizzola* now and, then.....perfect time too step up to mic and, inflict some off color humor....

Until i get tackled and, gagged! :grin:

This event is for you guys and, we aim too please....Midwest power is where the "Anger becomes real".....Got alot of evil ideas for then.

Now, if you haven't already started: Start building #@$% too impress! "I WANT NAPALM AND, I WANT IT NOW!"

Salsa Music

I will be flying for the first time my new KillBill rocket. It will have up to 7 seven altimeter initiated events. Shelter the kids and tie up the dogs. The Bride will get her revenge. Featuring the almost Crazy 88 motor mount and hattori hanzo fins.

Cool! For some reason kinda partial to Uma Thurman.

EZI instigation. Any EZI65 kit bought from me or anyone else. Modifications to kit are ok. launch rail buttons cool, dual deploy no problem. I will go old school myself.

Anybody needing inspiration should check out John Coker's classic article from the original ROL, saved by the Wayback Machine. I'm debating how to engineer mine for K motors while maintaining good I65 performance. I think I can make it work...
