Looks like a great forecast! What is everyone flying?

I'll have- madcow godevil 29md on G126WT
Wildman Vindicator jr- alumaflame G120 EX motor
Wildman 4" punisher- Alumaflame K960 (assuming I get everything built in time).
 
I'm hoping to be there with the family. PS, do you happen to have an o-ring for a 54mm motor? Long story, but I've got a 2 grain motor missing one

Uhh.. for snap ring cases, yah, but not AT. Not sure if I trust you around Orings these days :)
 
I'm bringing the LOC 4" Goblin on a K456DM (You hear me LOC boys??? Lets dragrace... :p:p). I think I'll prep my 4" WM Demon with something... edit: Found a J540 Redline... :D
Maybe my WM Interceptor sport on a Loki H100SK...:oops::oops:

Every Aerotech instruction I've seen gave dimensions in inches, not dash sizes. @Erik- what motor is it, and maybe we can find something similar?

Note- I'm not responsible for any catastrophic failures :)
 
It's an AT J250 FJ.
I had to borrow an o-ring for that L1090 back at MWP
If I can replace the o-ring, I'll fly the Punisher on the J250
 
looks like it's either an 1/8" thick x 2" OD or 1/16" thick by 2" OD. Is this the liner o-ring, or the forward/aft o rings? Probably something you could get in a hardware store fairly easily.
 
Fore/Aft ...
I checked, my local hardware store is out of that size. They're not usually out of anything, but until next week, I'm outta luck

I'll take a look at the one by us- they're going out of business, but they have lots of o-rings floating around
 
I'm bringing a 4" Patriot on an I357 and my son's LOC park flyer on some mid power.
Biggest plan is to do a ground deployment tests on my 6" Punisher. That's a little too big to do in my backyard...

I did my 8" Mad Maxx in my yard, then Erik Cz's 8" WM Gizmo XLV. During Erik's tests, 2 local firemen stopped by. They were just selling raffle/pancake breakfast tickets... :oops:o_O
 
Adrian - I should just bring it to your backyard :). Not worried about police / firemen in my backyard, but when I tested my 4" punisher the nose cone hit my back fence and made a little dent. A 6" with 2 pounds of nose weight might leave a little more than a dent...
 
I'll be there! weather looking great, looking to test out the new raven GPS on my 4" Level 2. motor TBD.
 
Ok- punisher is a no go due to the EX motor not coming out right. Instead I'll be flying an H129 pitch black sparky on the vindicator jr (along with the alumaflame motor).
 
Great launch today! Perfect weather for a launch, and I stayed out of the swamp.

Here are the onboard videos from my two flights today:
