EVENT QCRC Mini Midwest Power May 28-29th

[jd2cylman]

So, once again QCRC is hosting Mini Midwest Power May 28-29th. 9am to 4ishPM both days (unless you bribe the Prefect to stay later... ). 15,000 ft waiver.
Flo's food truck will be onsite both days. Who knows, I might even fly a rocket or two...
And Saturday night after the launch, there will be a gathering at the Wildman's. Home of Wildman Rocketry MFG and whoosh generators galore.
Wildman's is considering a catered prime rib dinner if we get enough interest. Cost would be around $20.00 per person but we need solid numbers. QCRC will supply sodas and water.

I will be there buddy!

Lets pray to the weather gods.

Prepping lots of rockets right now. Got an order coming in from Mark at Stickershock. Got an order in to Cris and Eggtimer. Got an(other) motor order at Tim and Jackies to pick up. Got (3) rockets in the garage with their final coats of paint drying from tonight.

So much to do.

What is everyone flying???

My plans.....:
Extreme Wildman on an M1297W
Wildman Demon 150 on an L2500ST
LOC Iroc cluster on a J570W + 6xG74W's with a very special theme
Madcow Nike-Apache on an I599N to a G138T
Wildman Mach 2 on a J180T
Jason Griffins old 5" Jart on a J800T
Maybe my 38mm Big Daddy on an H242T and/or the 29mm Big Daddy on a G104T

If I fly half of that, I will be impressed!!!

 

[jFlds]

I'm focusing on my L3 cert flight with my Prometheus 5 "Gojira" on an M1500 green.

Bringing the trailer so I'll have everything else on deck if things go as planned.

 

[DHays]

My boys and I will be there. Planning on bringing 3" Mac Arcas with a J-275. Wildman Drago 4 XL with a K-456. And maybe Drago 5XL with a large L of some sort, maybe. It's my L3 cert rocket that could use a test flight on a L before hand.

And looking forward to the food truck! LOL! Why does fling rockets make me so hungry?

Hope to see everyone there.

 

[StreuB1]

Looking forward to the L3 cert and L3 checkout flights!!!!

 

[firemanup]

Hope y’all get great weather.

I’m going to miss this one as I will be at the Delamar launch N. of Las Vegas that weekend launching with the boy.

Good luck everyone.

I'm not sure what I'm going to put it in, but I've got a K480 sitting here. The K480 is my favorite K in the 54mm Aerotech lineup. And, against my better judgement, I've got another L1940x on order. That load in the 5" Goblin was just waaay too insane - have to do that again

Planning on a (3) K-2050 cluster, and a 3" two stage on a K-1103 to a J-415. If the two stage does not get done in time, perhaps an M-2050X in a 5" HED bird.

Need good weather though!

 

[DHays]

I have been peaking ahead at the weather forecast. Still way to early for any reliability. Crossing my fingers.

 

[jd2cylman]

I’ve got a L850 for my WM 5”Lance, a 75mm K 2 grain sumthin for my WM 5” Goblin, and I don’t know what all from there. Maybe my WM 4” Interceptor on a 75 3 grain.

 

[DAllen]

L930- 7.5" Goblin "Not Flat"
J800- 3" Prometheus "Upset Homer"
and....Undecided beyond that.

Will certainly help Mr. Fields with his L3 as needed.

I saw your order about an hour ago.....I know your secrets.....

 

[StreuB1]

I am liking what I am seeing so far. Lots of nice big projects and flights and when you have that, there is lots of other smaller awesome infill flights.

As long as the weather stays away, its going to be an awesome weekend of flying, thats for sure.

Mr Fields

Bahahahahaha

I'll definitely take your assistance though!

 

[StreuB1]

I've spent the last 4 days painting, blocking, sanding, painting, color sanding, and installing StickerShock products on (4) birds.

My back is killing me at this point but......I think there is an end in sight.

Doing 2K clear on (4) rockets tonight, laying fillets, and continuing to load ejection charges.

So......much......work......

Why do I always underestimate the amount of work to do and then procrastinate on top of it!?!??!?!

I got some prep in yesterday. Glued my grains, checked over the L3 airframe, made sure my CP's are marked on my rack o rockets according to the code change, charged up the Marco polos and run cams.... Had a big oh **** when I couldn't find my 98/75 adapter. Thank gawd for Tim being a click away and having stock!

Want me to bring an Aeropack 98-75 adapter as back-up, or you good?

 

[jFlds]

That would be great. Never know.

Thanks

[jd2cylman]

NOTAM called in.
We’ll be setting up late morning / afternoon Friday. And we might be able to “test the system” afterwards.

 

[jd2cylman]

A reminder that you need to have your $20.00 per person for the Saturday night dinner in to [email protected] by 5:00 pm today.

 

[djs]

I'll be there on Sat, weather permitting. Unless jd2cylman makes loud noises and scares me away. Bringing the 2 stager, 4" punisher on an EX K700 motor. Maybe other stuff.

 

[jd2cylman]

So, we'll be broadcasting on 93.1 FM for those not close enough to the PA for the launch this weekend. (I think that's the right frequency)

 

[StreuB1]

Are we launching on the MWP side or the barn side? Barn side, right Shirley?

 

[jd2cylman]

Yup. Barn side (east) of 1850. Or maybe rubble side now…
