EVENT Red Glare 20 -- Who's Coming?

[Nathan]

Originally the AT Crossload Matrix included 5 and 6 grain reloads. Here is a copy of the old version. I guess at some point they decided to "uncertify" using 5 and 6 grain AT reloads in CTI hardware.

Yeah, I remember. That table was just a mistake. The certification letter specifically said up to four grains.

I was supposed to register last night but the wife got home early, made me pay bills and completely busted my groove... I'll try to have the Invader Brothers ready to fly.

 

[Bat-mite]

They haven't put the featured flights up on the web site, yet. Nor have they opened the voting for the tee-shirt contest.

 

[Scott S]

The featured flight we received has been posted. Its after last year's flight. Get your submissions in!

Not seeing it.

 

[mbeels]

Not seeing it.

I'm seeing the 3/4 scale patriot, looks pretty impressive!

 

[Dave A]

Login into the website, go down the the Red Glare tab, all the links are there including Special Projects and Featured flights.

 

[Bat-mite]

I meant that I am not seeing mine. I sent a featured flight/special project weeks ago and it never made it to the page. I have inquired of the board.

We're trying to figure out why we can't get John's submission to come through. To date we have only received Dan's Patriot, if you had previously submitted please try again and follow up with an email to the BoD.

Thanks,
Scott

I'm likely coming to pick up a wildman order, and watch all the cool stuff, probably won't bring anything to launch. This will be LilDuphis' first visit to an HPR launch, so we'll see what he thinks. (Mental note to get him acclimated to wearing his little earmuffs)

 

[PhlAsh]

Finally got my registration taken care of. Now to figure out what will fly...

 

[solid_fuel]

Is there a Vendor list posted anywhere?

 

[Bat-mite]

Confirmed so far are Wildman, OneBadHawk, and Performance Hobbies.

 

[DuctTapeandRocketFuel]

I plan on being there on Saturday to spectate, and buy some motors.

 

[Cl(VII)]

I won't be there, but I sent some stuff for the raffle. Have a great launch...pointy end up.

 

[Dave A]

I,too, submitted a Special Project about 2 weeks ago but did not post.
I will try again

Please e-mail the BoD. Something is very wrong with the web engine. Or should that be web motor?

I have a few questions about launching at MDRA, I see according to the safety code and the FAQ that the igniter goes in the motor only after it is setup on the pad.

But what about dual deploy charges? Can they be loaded before the rocket is taken to the RSO?

Yes. The rocket should be presented to the RSO ready for flight with the altimeters OFF and the igniter OUT. On the pad, make sure the rocket is vertical, then turn on the altimeters and check continuity, then insert the igniter, attach the leads, and walk away. In that order.

Thanks.

One other item of concern... Please read if not familiar and , if so, just as a reminder:

Power on checks for deployment electronics...
Under no circumstances will power-on or continuity checks be accomplished on live deployment charges, in or around individual or group preparation areas,. (A live charge is defined as a recovery charge canister, containing both an e-match and black powder connected to electronics or not). All power-on or continuity checks with live charges will be conducted at the assigned launch pad prior to launch or in a safe area forward of the spectator line, designated by the RSO.

To insure the safety of all flyers and spectators, power-on operational checks of recovery electronics, to include continuity checks, will follow the procedures below, (1 through 4).

1. E-match continuity may be checked prior to installing the e-match into its canister, or after installing the e-match in its canister, (without black powder installed), either by electronic test equipment or power on check, using the rockets deployment electronics.

2. Once satisfied with the results of the power-on check and or continuity check, power down all recovery electronics associated with deployment charge activation. From this point on do not power-up your recovery electronics, until you are at the launch pad or a designated area assigned by the RSO.

3. Secure and prep your charge canisters with black powder. Once again, do not power-up your recovery electronics for any reason until you are at the launch pad or a designated area assigned by the RSO.

4. After final rocket preparation, RSO review, and arrival at your assigned launch pad, turn on the rockets recovery electronics. Once continuity is confirmed, install igniter(s) and have a safe launch.

This is for the safety of everyone attending the launch.

Thanks Fred, this is helpful.

 

[Bat-mite]

Or, do like me and prep and test at home, come to the launch ready to fly. All I do on the field is insert my GPS tracker and put in shear pins.

 

[Chad Holm]

I'll be there for the first time with my daughter. We are looking forward to it.

How old is your daughter? Mine is a hair shy of 10 and loves to meet other girls at launches.

She is 11. I have a feeling they will have a good time.

 

[Nathan]

I think I'm ready for Red Glare . . .

Your going to burn all that at RG?
