....what hump?
Anything happening on this, yet? I am planning to attend when I know the particulars.
Best of luck to Manny, Alex and, Joel on the trip and, safe flights!

Here's my 3 inch rocket I'm bringing to XPRS. Planning to launch on an M685W, and hit about 40k ft. Really I'm just hoping to get it back.
First time to the playa, coming from the east coast, I felt I needed to max out the altitude a little.

Thanks. Really the rocket is just RocketryWarehouse FG tubes and nose cone and a CF fin can, nothing too special. The M685 won't push it too hard so I'm not expecting a shred or anything.
I recently picked up a 100 mW Beeline GPS for tracking. I've tested it out and sent Greg a bunch of emails, but tracking a rocket 8 miles up will be new to me.
I live in Maryland and fly with MDRA and I've also been to Potter a couple times.
The BRB will get your rocket back! I've flown the unit a few times on the playa with great results. I'll have my tracking setup, I can track alongside if you want.
I flew with MDRA for years before I moved to west, I look forward to meeting you on the playa.
Leaving tomorrow to start the trek down to XPRS!
I'll be there...flying an H45 in a minimum diameter low-tech junk rock . My first H45and I've been into HPR for 20+ years!!!
