EVENT QCRC June 13, 2020

[rocketman328]

Anyone know if this launch is taking place on Saturday in Princeton IL

 

[jd2cylman]

It has been changed to June 20th.

 

[ksaves2]

I take it that will likely be the last launch of the season with crops coming up? Kurt

 

[jd2cylman]

Yes. And since the crops are up, we'll have to be very careful/mindful of not doing any damage while recovering rockets.

 

[Tobor]

Me thinks I will make the trip. Hope to maiden my Eagle Claw Sport.

Sweet...

 

[ghp3]

Rats. I was all prepped, but I can't do the 20th. Alas.

 

[djs]

Think I might make it down. not sure what I'll fly yet, depends on the weather and the crops. Gotta make some motors for it too

 

[SDramstad]

With luck will fly my L3 cert flight then.

 

[ChicagoDave]

I'll be there on the 20th, probably with the 3.1" LOC Sandhawk on an AT J570 if the weather looks good. With luck also bringing the 3.1" LOC IRIS for a shakedown as well, depending on how much I get to work in it during the week.

 

[SCEtoAux]

I’ll be sending up my Mad Dog 4XL on a K456DM. Let’s hope the corn isn’t too tall!

My 5in Goblin getting ready for next weekend.
Flying on a Cesaroni J760 White Thunder. Decals tomorrow.

I have a K456DM loaded up too. Hadn't thought which rocket to put it in yet, but hey, the motor's ready...

 

[StreuB1]

K456DM is a great motor. Flew my stretched 54mm upgraded Minie Magg on that at MWP 2019. Beautiful flight and great performer.

 

[crossfire]

I’ll be sending up my Mad Dog 4XL on a K456DM. Let’s hope the corn isn’t too tall!

The old days corn should be knee high by July 4th. So that means now days it will be waist high.

 

[StreuB1]

Glad I decided to pop on here and see what launches are coming up. I have my L3 attempt rocket in the garage right now getting paint and am pretty much ready to go with it. Could do a checkout flight on Saturday with a K1275 and fly something else as well.

Hmmm...

 

[djs]

If the forecast holds and Saturday sucks, is there any chance of moving to Sunday?

When have you ever seen the forecast hold true?

 

[jd2cylman]

my app shows 50% for both days...

 

[JR Anderson]

Wife asked me if they would have a porta-potty. Thought they usually dont, but told her i would ask.

Nether day have a better forecast at the moment. I'll still be going though - last time at MMWP we had a little rain but it only lasted 30 - 45 minutes tops. My bet is it'll be the same next weekend.

 

[jd2cylman]

Wife asked me if they would have a porta-potty. Thought they usually dont, but told her i would ask.

We do now. Yea!!!

 

[StreuB1]

Does anyone know what the waiver at the QCRS launch in July at Tims will be??

 

[rfjustin]

Does anyone know what the waiver at the QCRS launch in July at Tims will be??

Says TBD on website currently.

 

[Tobor]

Ack! Looks like I have a scheduling conflict. And Saturday's weather forecast tips the scales against flying

See y'all at MWP 2020.

 

[djs]

Forecast is looking hit and miss. I'll probably make it down though, unless it takes a turn for the worse.

 

[ChicagoDave]

Right now - and it's a forecast so who knows - it looks like the morning is going to be better weather. I'm going to try to get there a bit early to help set up. Doesn't look like I'll get the IRIS done in time though - too much going on at work this week.

 

[jd2cylman]

The waiver is called in to start at 9am. So with many hands to make light work, we should be able to start flying right at 9.
I'm planning on getting there around 8ish, after stopping at Tim's to pick up whatever pre orders he has for the launch.
See ya there.

I think we need a fresh pic with stickers added.

Who makes the rattle can green?

 

[StreuB1]

Might make it out. Want to fly my Extreme WM for my L3, before I go for my cert. Have a K1275 ready for it.

Any experience on how much BP to use for the EX WM ejection charges? Using 3 #2 nylon shear pins.

Just got home and not sure I can get a test in before its too late. Calculator says 0.6g will pop the payload section for the main, not a lot of volume left once the chute is in, and 1.5g for apogee.

I guess the old saying, either blow it out or blow it up, holds!
