Whitakers, NC question

PGerringer · Sep 7, 2001

I'm tossing around ideas for my next rocket. I'm looking at PML and want to build a rocket for H, I, and J for a level 2 possibility. But most of the affordable PML rockets go 4,000-5,000 ft on a J. Is 4,000-5,000 ft a safe launch at Whitakers, NC? I mean is the prospects for recovery pretty good?

Thanks.

And Bayboro is 6 square MILES of recovery area, about 85% plowed field. Most who launch there would say that with the 17K waiver, 4-5K is barely warming up!

Wow over 20 year old thread got revived. Crazy that I could barely talk when this thread was made.

Me, too. One of the laws of rocketry.

How does one even find a 20 year old thead to resurrect? That's where the talent lies.

I did the same thing last spring there. I have sent my Missileworks RRC3 into Jim at Missileworks but have not heard back yet. I know he recently had an accident so I am not bugging him.
