Ready For Spring

Can’t wait to land on dry land instead of in a puddle! We didn’t get too much snow this year but it seems wetter than usual.

The contrast against the snow makes a great photo

I agree, nice photo! And yeah, I'm ready for spring as well.

The fields I launch at are still inaccesible at this time. And we have a Nor'easter on it's way. Oh joy !!! Nice picture

My whole outlook on life improves when the sun is out longer. Bring it on! I'm even sort of looking forward to mowing the grass in some kind of weird way ... .

Come down to SouthEast US. Plenty of HPR launches. Except for when the rain cancels them... And it’s been warm and sunny at 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Well how about this, I took a ride to check the fields...Open! For now lol. 4x4 only

We had weirdball weather up here in the Pacific North Wet. January was dry and near-record warm. February was Snowpocalypse Central. And now we hit 79 degrees on March 20, breaking several all-time records. I have to say that flying with the TARC team is a lot more fun at 60 degrees than 35.

yes, it's been a hard winter, lots of ice!!

And we're expecting another 10 - 15cm tomorrow!

Scotty dog, where are you?

That is a great shot! What rocket and launch pad were you using? That rocket has a great 'generic rocket' look to it!

The rocket and pad are both my designs. I’ve been meaning to post them but I’ve been working the electronics lately. I’ll get to it eventually.

The rocket is a BT-50 model with 3D printed parts. Very quick build and inexpensive. Needed something expendable for the water landings!

The pad is about the size of the Estes pad but the legs fold instead of sliding off. I can leave it assembled and just slide the rod in at the field. Mostly I just wanted to make one

Sound like a plan. I knew of your club. Always wanted to head up for a launch. Thanks for the invite!

Know that park well. That area is my favorite place on earth! Crazy small world!
