Where do you live? You could take it at the science education center in Wichita. That is how I did mine. I think you can also take it on site before you launch. Take the test get it scored and signed off.
Question: I’m planning on attempting a level 2 certification flight. It is my understanding that you have to take the written test prior to the flight.
Would it be possible to take the test prior to Airfest? Or do you take it on site?
I ask because I would like to try and fly it Friday pending optimal weather conditions.
There will be many TAP and/or Prefect and/or TRA Board Members on site mid-day Thursday and throughout AIRFest. IDK where you are located (I wish people would add their location for many reasons), so arrange for it near you in the next two weeks or come out early and take care of it.Would it be possible to take the test prior to Airfest?

There is going to be a lot of work going on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. I invite you to come out and pitch in then take the test.

I can be there early Friday to help! The wife works late Thursday or else we would just come early.
Also, I’m near Manhattan!
The day is near for closing AIRFest 24 pre-registration: 8/13/2014. Monday.
You can save yourself some cash, guarantee a spiffy AIRFest 24 t-shirt and greatly streamline check-in at the field if you pre-reg. Not only that, you can do it from the cool comfort of home. It takes just a couple minutes.
After Monday, I get cracking on this end: t-shirt order, lots and lots of printing, flyer packet prep, etc., all in anticipation of the great annual convergence at the Argonia Rocket Pasture.
Sign up today and join the fun!

Yes but it is important to note, all vehicle operation is limited to the Rocket Pasture and the roads. Do not drive vehicles into any fields or waterways in the recovery area.Are you allowed to bring a Quad to assist in recovery?
Yeah, sitting at about 190 and the hotels tell me they're full. It should be a great weekend. We're going to miss you, Glynn.WOW! Looking at the AirFest 24 website, it looks like close to 200 preregistered flyers this year. Too bad I can't make it this year, but I WILL be at LDRS next year!
K impulse will fly from either the 40’s pads or the 50’s pads unless I get scared then all bets are off!Anyone know what flight line a “K” impulse launches from? Trying to incorporate on-board video for a flight and currently testing how long the camera will record before it’s out of juice.
I know at the bigger launches it is possible for your rocket to sit on the pad awhile.

Gentle people:
Having no experience at Airfest (Argonia, KS) I'm curious what winds (ground and/or aloft) can be expected this time of year?
↑ What Bob said. It's windy and use a tracker. I have, however, been amazed to see quite a few flyers retrieve rockets that go out of site, no tracker, with only a general direction of where to head. I don't have the time, energy, or luck to spend an afternoon in the heat looking for a rocket. Think about it. You spend your time, travel, food, and (possibly) lodging expenses, as well as the modest registration fee to attend a launch. It costs hundreds of dollars just to attend. Now look at the cost of the rocket, motor case, and electronics - possibly hundreds more. Why not invest in a tracker to ensure you get your rocket back and save time.
we don't really have many trees or any lakes to deal with.
Where is that?In general, this is true. But if you try really hard...
Where is that?
