Bob? What about the 7 motor almost P cluster?
Ooooo two black airstarts....Yeowsaa!! Cant wait to meet ya Teddy!
Teddy,
Let's recap what I know about at this point.
- There's one "P" motor flight!
- There's one four motor cluster flight of combined P impulse!
- I've kinda of lost count but there must be 6-8 O-3400's flying!
- There have been three high altitude requests turned in for flight above 40K'. (all of them approved).
- There are nearly two dozen high altitude requests sent in for flight between 25K' and 40K'.
The field will be set up with 33 high power pads capable of flying everything from H to O motor impulse. There will be 16 modroc pads. We have a portable wireless launch system to cover any special project that might warrant "bonus distance". There with be a Rocket inspection station both at the range head and at the entrance to the away pads.
Vendors galore, a food vendor on site (be sure to try the roasted corn), and the burger blast set for Saturday night.
I'm sure I missed something!
Bottom line, I certain you will have a great time!
See you all in three weeks,
Bob Brown
Yes - that works. Do it now and keep your receipt, just in case Deb at HQ can't get your card to you in time (I suspect she will).EDIT: is the online application and payment the only requirement to become a TRA member? That seems pretty easy, and like it'd be worthwhile to do to get the most out of this event?
Folks,
With all the unseasonal rain the rocket pasture has experienced this summer, finding rockets without them might become an exercise in futility! Bob
This question has already been answered in a PM.Thanks for the alert... you note unseasonal rain but the Kloudbuster main page bans sparkies?
Do you think Sparkies will in or out by launch date... or does it just depend on conditions launch week?

Awww....cute little motors.
Seriously, the O3400 is a nice motor!
Folks, if you're on the fence, you need to go to AirFest! Seriously, it's worthwhile!

Hey! Who's this stranger posting???? Hey Troj! Nice to see you stop by...
So, is this a launch that you don't just show up for a day? Not sure I can get away for the whole weekend, but maybe a day or two....

If you can only make one day, make it Saturday or Sunday.

If any of these needs eyes in the sky for visual tracking, come watch your flight next to the Loki booth and I'll give you headings. I'll most likely be watching every one of them through my binoculars anyway. I've had lots of practice at Argonia watching them all the way up, and all the way down. Looking forward to it!
Also, stop by the booth and take a look at some of the things I "research" at Loki Research.
The Arizona crew and I will be flight testing a new single use 98mm composite nozzle in a 16,600Ns N-4500 Loki Blue in a 98/12,500 case. I might have a 76mm to test in a 11,500Ns motor as well. I'm not sure I'f I'll have time to prep that, or even find a rocket it will fit in for that matter. Grippo, you feel like shredding another rocket? ;-)
The 98mm.

Ooooh... I have one of those motors I bought "way back"--still have an N-3800 to burn but glad to see a new load being developed for it!
I'm flying the P Saturday morning if all goes as planned.

Bob,
I promise, third try is a charm.:grin:
This makes what, 5 or 6 years of six in motors for you?

Bring it on down Tim!
I would so love to, but no big (well even small) rockets for me until I get my knee replaced.
