WWOOOWWW...
That was one incredible weekend...
My wife and I both had a fantastic time....
Everyone of you guys are the reason,,,
There were so many insanely cool flights,,,,
It was one right after another,,, for 3 days......
I got 2 flights in that were really important to me.......
My 3" fiberglass scratch "Green Hornet"
went for a long ride on an Aerotech K 480 W to 11,373 ft.....
Recovery was at the back of the field almost to the far road....
My 54mm minimum D "Altitude Seeker"
went up on an Aerotech K 550 W and made 9615 ft.
and landed in the same area....
Thank you to the guys that found it first... lol
I am truly enjoying the Big Red Bee ham based tracker....
It was quite frustrating in the beginning,,,
Now it's half the fun of the flight.....
I find I am flying higher, with more confidence now that
I am following the tracker right to the rocket...
Connor,,,
What a nice young man you are,,, what a great head you've got on your shoulders.....
My heartiest congratulations on your level 1 cert......
You are certainly going to put up some super cool flights in your rocketry endeavors.....
And you will most definitely succeed in anything else you put your mind to in life....
You parents are sure proud of you as well......
May you make all the right choices in life Connor.....

I think Marvin needs to be eating an onion on next years shirt....
Dan did you remember to put the thumb screw in the fb to seal it? The video imakes it hard to see , but after the motor was out of the airframe , it was still burning hard . It looks like you just had a blow by.

I cleaned my truck out twice...
The mini onion tornado's blew the onions into every nook and cranny in my truck..... lol

Hi Dan.
I was working as a pad manager I know where I was standing when your case hit the creek or close to and lined it up with a building in the back ground. I will be out there in the next few weeks or month so I will spend some time on finding your case. I plan on having the ( squirrel ) My nephew Jason with me so if anyone has some in trees we can hopefully retrieve them. Anyone needing someone to take a look for them drop a PM with as much info as u have and I will get the squirrel on the area with an ATV for scout and retrieval.

Teddy, that was me and Fred that grabbed your rocket, I'll reach out to Fred if he has the picture of how your altitude seeker landed on his rocket. Had a great weekend except for a few rookie mistakes (like never put a gwiz upside down). -Andrew
Here you go... I can email the original, if wanted...
Wow Dave,,
I love the shot of "Sluggo" laying in the corn field...
It blends right in with the corn plants...
I completely agree,,
I won't fly with out a tracker anymore either.....
