In a big orange fiberglass Pike?
We had almost two inches of rain here in Van Alstyne last week, which is about 15 miles east of the Gunter site. But it's been so dry that the ground sucks up moisture quickly and it's been so cold global warming that the ground is as hard as a carp. It was 14 F last night with more of this BS on the way. I don't have anything spectacular ready to fly but I did get a new insulated coat for Christmas. I'll probably brave the next Alberta Clipper just to see that 75mm L touch down on the iced over lake!
Hot chocolate anyone?
I'm planning to fly the Satellite Interceptors if the wind is low enough. Might drag race them H148R-10 vs C6-3.

EDIT: Just realized there is only one controller key, so I guess no drag race. Oh well, I'll just fly the big one then.

This doable if we put 'em both on the midpower pads. At Gunter we usually set them at a distance to accomodate an H and we sure can put an 8th inch rod next to it.
While I like that idea, I want the maximum rail length for the first flight. Rocksim says it is plenty stable, but I still want to give it plenty of runway.
So then we've got to find an extra key somewhere...
-or-
We set up a model pad next to High Power 1.

How's the Door Knob coming along Sam? I see a J275W in your future!
So long as the model pad is out of the blast radius of HP1... :y:
Cool. I look forward to both. What type of starter are you using for your Loki motors?
Looking to put up a Wildman extreme on a K780. Rocksim has it right at the wavier.
Looks like I might be able to make it after all. Now, need to see if I can get anything ready to fly. Might be able to get the Binder Designs tyrannosaur ready enough to to fly naked on motor deploy.... Or maybe test some electronics. Soaring Dusty's fin repair is nearing completion, so maybe a redo on the I357. I have a RW Tomahawk to build, but probably too much of a push to get it build with the day job.
Hope plans hold and we can make it.
