Not sure when I'll get to process pics. Had to leave at 3pm; gotta make it out to the kettles for MTB team practice this evening. Good flying today. Hopefully my early Nike-X in the treetop was not captured by anyone.

My uncle was there shooting video too. Will share that when he gets it to me.

On the first day of LDRS, I flew my upscale Photon Disruptor on an F52.

The nosecone separated, carrying away my Eggfinder Mini. But it did the job.



eggStation seemed to lag real time on screen - I've been working on the radar displays, and seem to have messed something up. But the KML saved all the data. I like how you can see my walk back.

Regrettably, today was the only day I'll be able attend LDRS, but I was very glad I did. I saw lots of familiar faces and was able to meet some folks face to face for the first time. @bandman444, great meeting you and Art today, good luck with your flights tomorrow! I can't wait to see pics and video of the Jayhawk.

Best,

Anyone on here someone who snapped a pic of me and Beaker?

Dumped the memory card to the PC, still need to go through them....one from yesterday.

 

[Hobie1dog]

Thanks for all the pictures, keep 'em coming. I sure hope within the next year or two that there is an LDRS close to me.

@DAllen Epic.

A few of my flights.

Nike-X found a treetop on Thursday. 60' pole to the rescue. G72DM motor.



MDRM had a shroud line wrap around the chute, so it kept it bundled up even though the JLCR did its thing. Fell into nice soft vegetation and is just fine. H128W.




4" Alien Space Probe. Perfect flight on a H130W.



And Beaker, the Meep Meep Magg. I180W. What a ride!

 

[DigBaddy]

Some other shots. I have not gone through much; just kinda skimming....

Here’s some screen grabs from video by a friend.

 

[RocketmanAleks]

I didn't get a chance to take many pictures because I was busy flying and helping others fly, but I got a handful of good shots yesterday. I particularly love the Saturn V, and the rocket in tower has those awesome G80 mach diamonds.

Had a picture perfect flight (to 5,335’) and recovery of my 8” V2 on a M1500 Mojave Green this afternoon.

Just emptied the memory card off the camera...

I didn't fly, but it was great to see old friends again.

If aliens are real do they know how to dance?

Thank you DigBaddy

At Bong, LONG LONG LOOOOOOOOONG harnesses are one of the smartest things you can do. @ECayemberg 's near 100' harnesses are for a reason.

 

[Charles_McG]

Hey, a harness 2x the tree height is a legit Bong strategy.
