Well since the original was a 3 motor cluster this one will fly on a 3x54mm cluster of K550's :grin::grin::grin:

 

[rdbones]

OK Folks, since people have been wondering what all we are bringing to the Rocket Pasture, here is a sneak peek!

 

[Wayco]

Picked out the rockets that will be making the 1000 mile road trip with me to Airfest:

1. Rocketry Warehouse X-Celerator. 54mm MMT. Needs a switch band and sled built for the Avbay, nomex pads for shock cord and chute, paint and Stickershock decal.
2. Wildman 3" Darkstar is ready to fly. 54mm MMT. Has both Stratologger and RRC3 mounted in avbay, just add ejection charges, motor and dog barf.
3. Energizer Bunny is ready to fly. 54mm minimum diameter. Has Stratologger in avbay, just add ejection charges, motor and dog barf.
4. Wildman Darkstar Jr. is almost ready to fly. 38mm MMT. Move Stratologger into avbay and prep. for flight.
5. LOC Nuke Pro Max "Duke Nukem" 38mm MMT. Move Stratologger into avbay and prep. for flight.
6. LOC Nuke Pro Max clone "Reduke Nukem" 38mm MMT. Move Stratologger into avbay and prep. for flight.
7. Estes "D" Region Tomahawk "Tommy Two". Flies on 24/60 F35.

Sharon has nine rockets picked out with two that are still being built. We might get hers posted up after this weekend.

Is Sharon gonna study the L2 test on the way there ?

Duke vs Duke are you drag racing yourself ?

Good times , show em some Southwest spirit from all of us !

Good news and bad news...

You're correct on how to calculate the price -- 90% of the Wildman price. That's the good news.

The bad news is that right as I was reading your post, Tim called -- the Gizmo now includes the filament-wound aluminum-tipped fiberglass nosecone, so the price had to go up. That's the bad news.

The Gizmo is now $149.99 / $134.99 for Wildman Club members, or $121.49 in this sale.

[tjsnakez]

I'll be there, as will my grandpa Randall (the crazy hard-hat-wearing old man)

I'll be flying:

My 4"/3" rocket I call "The Mötley Crüise Missile" on an M2250 C-star
5.5" Nike Smoke - K375NW
Darkstar jr - I125, J350W
Estes Fatboy - I218R
PML Amraam 2 - H's

Not sure what my grandpa is flying, but I'm sure it'll be interesting!
See you all there!

Adding a filament wound nose cone to ANY kit, causing a price increase can never be "Bad News"


Worth every one of the 1500 pennies!!

 

[Wayco]

Is the two stage upgrade for a DS Jr. considered a kit? I've been resisting this for a while, this sale might just push me off the fence.
It's crunch time here, three rockets are approaching the finish line, and two of them need paint. Tomorrow I'm taking the truck in to get the tires balanced and oil changed, then a general check up for the road trip next week. :w: Here we come Argonia!

 

[dshmel]

I splurged and treated my Honda to a new timing belt, water pump, oil pump gasket, and cam and crankshaft seals. Too bad, I would have loved to have spent that $ on kits and motors. :cry::cry:

AMEN BROTHER!

 

[dshmel]

Fatboy on an I motor?

Upscale?

Estes Fatboy - I218R

 

[tjsnakez]

Upscale?

Well that wouldn't be quite as much fun! :wink:



It's flown 2 times previously on the same motor.

 

[dshmel]

How much ballast do you have in the nose cone?

Well that wouldn't be quite as much fun! :wink:

[tjsnakez]

Somewhere around 3 oz I believe. I could have used less actually, but I wanted the option to fly shorter motors if I felt like it. The total weight of the rocket is 11 oz!

 

[cjl]

After much deliberation, I'll be there

Should be fun - I've had a couple motors sitting around that need to be burned.

Awesome, hope to see you there.

By the way, I won't have my tent so you're on your own for shade.

I'm sure I can find someone to mooch off of...

(it's worked so well for me in the past!)

I'm still on the fence about whether I want to bring any smaller rockets, but I'll definitely at least be bringing my Kraken, along with a CTI N4100 red, so that should be fun (until I have to recover it).

 

[lmt56]

HEY BOB!
What day and time are the large projects going to fly?
Looks like it is going to be hot, so instead of Airfest19 you could call it SB-6. Do you have time to change the T-shirts?
Just kidding and a little pay back for the showers you gave at SB-5.
On a serious note.
Hope set-up went well today.
Appreciate all the work you guys do.

 

[llickteig1]

Larry, thanks for reminding me (speaking of range set-up, work, etc.) ...

There are several range duty slots available throughout AIRFest 19 weekend. Please go to the AIRFest web-site (https://www.kloudbusters.org/airfest/), select “Volunteers”, pick a range duty slot or two and sign-up.

There are 32 hours of open range time during AIRFest 19, so giving back 2 hours or 4 hours in Range Duty will still leave plenty of hours to prep and fly your rockets. If everyone takes a shift, then we won’t have any trouble filling the schedule. All volunteers names will go into the volunteer VIP raffle for vendor donated items.

Thanks, --Lance.

OK here are the rockets that the Arizona Rocketry Team will be bringing to Kansas !
