Here's my big oops of the weekend...76-6000 White that let go pretty spectacularly. My Competitor 5 needs a MAJOR overhaul now, but most of the components are intact...except for the motor mount and the electronics. ARTS2 and RRC3 are dead, although the charred and smashed RRC3 still popped the main!

Otherwise, I flew four flights. Had a great time, caught up with great people, and enjoyed the weekend immensely! I have plenty to keep me busy after all the carnage that resulted from my flights!!!

Sorry too hear about the CATO Dan, it sure was a good "Up" until the *Boom*....:y:
Funny how Neil's Oooooooooowwwwwww..... in the background feed off the exhaust note.
Get it fixed up and, do it again!;) (Not the CATO thing...) If you don't pop one or trash one every once *in a little while*, you aren't trying hard enough....might just want to take up knitting.:rolleyes:
 
What a fantastic weekend,,,,,,,,,,,
I don't think I will ever forget this launch...........
My wife was there with me
and we had such a fantastic time it was insane..............

When the Honest John flight went bad
my wife and I were in the field behind the parking area recovering my Green Hornet........
The lower half of the Honest John roared over our heads..........
Neither one of us will ever forget that,,,,, it was just unbelievable............

We had such a dynamite weekend ,,,,,

I can't say enough positive about MDRA the hosting club......
They worked their tails off......
They ran their tails off..........

This is the standard by which a large launch should be executed..............

Unbelievable.................

I'm glad you had fun, because without you and your shock cords I would have had to spend a lot of time sewing!

It was a pleasure talking you about the max with the canted cluster.

I really wanted to try to get a shot of that canted cluster getting off the pad.........
I saw someone else got a gorgeous shot of it,,, it was so cool........
I was out in the field recovering,,,,,,,,,,,
That rocket is smokin,,,,
The quality of the build and attention to detail is insane...........

It was really nice talking to you as well........

I want to see that Max fly again for sure.........

Thank you MDRA for running yet another top-quality event. I had a great time, as always. With my impending move, I'm not sure when I'll get to see you all again, but I hope it's soon!

Our thanks go out to all the fliers who make the Red Glare launches what they are. Without your awesome projects, we have nothing. The weather was great until the winds really kicking up on Sunday afternoon after 3:00. The flight cards have not been counted and Newton Seconds have not been tabulated yet, but I have no doubt they will be extreme.

ROCKETS Magazine will be doing an article on the launch and as soon as we can get the data sheet posted, I will advise.....

If you have high quality Photos and Video and you want it included get in touch with us at [email protected]

For those who missed it....there is always Red Glare XVII.......:point:

[video=youtube_share;oYYZRwqJctY]https://youtu.be/oYYZRwqJctY[/video]
 
nathan,

that video is exactly how i remember it,but then, i was standing right next to you !
:)
the nose came down in the parking area pointy end first and made a nice hole in the
ground about 6" behind the bumper of my wife's car(the beige camry in the video).
she thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. you showed great 'composure'
following that flight because i was seriously considering hitting the dirt when it
turned horizontal.

That is why EVERY FLIGHT is a HEADS UP FLIGHT.....you never know who is going to get their turn in the barrel until the button is pushed...no amount of RSO'ing could have predicted the staggered start of the three motors being lit with thermite....pay attention to launch operations for all flights, not just the big ones.......just saying.....

Aaarghh!

Just found out the dates for the next MDRA launch are May 17 - 18. My son's birthday party is May 17 and my wife's birthday is May 18. I will not be able to make it.

Really wanted to try my first dual deploy. :(
 
MDRA has a summer field located at the Central Sod Farm off of 301.
This is not the same field as Red Glare.
