I’m curious if the A-G contest happened today and if so did any rockets make all the flights?
I finished out the weekend with a second launch of my Patriot yesterday, this time on a J800. It got 2600' and landed close to the pad because of how low the wind was. I wish I had been able to spend more time perusing the vendor selection, but I did visit John at Marsa and got a good deal on a new altimeter. Once again, this was an awesome event! Thanks to everyone who made it happen.
My friend attempted his L2 with a minimum diameter 54mm rocket that suffered from some recovery issues and came down without a parachute. We had to leave before we could find it, but if anyone happens to find a 54mm rocket built from blue G12, I would love to hear about it.

It is a 5" patriot from Wildman. It was about 18.5 lbs on the pad with a K550, which included a 75->54 adapter. I hope to eventually fly an L1000 in my patriot as well!Hi Andrew
What 5.5" Patriot is yours? And what is its weight. I have the 5.5" Mad Cow Patriot. Wanted to fly it on a AT L1000.
Thanks
Anyone with pictures?
I missed it this year, but am hoping to "live it" through others pics & vids..
Mowed? Were we at the same event? I had a great time except for trudging through the grass nearly up to my knees.Where else can you fly micro-max through N powered BFR's on a huge mowed grass field!
hope to make it next month!
My rocket is found! I got a call from Mary Beth, campus security at the University retrieved it from a tree.
Are you saying that the last time the field was mowed was in October 2018?It was mowed last Oct.
Usually the field (almost every year I can remember the field is mowed in May before Memorial day.Are you saying that the last time the field was mowed was in October 2018?
I would suggest for future NYPOWER's they have someone drive the field on Thursday and post the condition of the field.
That field is usually mowed, a lot of rain in the earlier part of the month must have prevented it from being turned into the golf course it normally is. quoting the tagline on the website was merely an attempt at humor.....Mowed?

The Potter field can go from reasonable to unreasonable in minutes of a rain storm. No one knowingly goes onto it. They come to a launch, the conditions turn, and if anything they optimistically wait too long before the decide to flee.I love rocketry but I’ll take honesty and common sense any day. Why would anyone knowingly drive their car into adverse conditions? I love motorcycles but I don’t take it out in thunder storms, I park it and do something else. If you are OK with tall thick grass and spending time looking for rockets then Geneseo is the place for you.
