Richard, just to verify, flying is on Sunday? Not tomorrow due to winds? Correct?

Happens to me all the time...
First the good news. We had a successful Tripoli L1 flight. wsume99 flew his Aerotech G Force on a H165R. Congratulations wsume99, welcome to high power!
Now the bad news. Thieves broke into our launch trailer and stole some items. We are missing our PA amplifier, ladder, extension cords, our box of LCO/RSO vest, tool box, the low power pads, and maybe some more items. Still working on inventory. They did leave us our high power system. Fortunately we had recently updated our Wilson F/X to wireless so the loss of extension cords doesn't hamper operations. We will try and get something workable for low power Sunday. And we will no longer leave the pads in the field overnight. It will be a complete tear down Saturday night with a new set up Sunday morning. Expect delays getting going on Sunday. We will not let this stop us!
See you Sunday!

Thank you! The field was fantastic and it was great to meet everyone. I'm sure I'll be back sometime in the future. That really stinks somebody stole your gear.

Was a great day to fly in the Mid West. Bong was as good as you would want it. No to very low winds. And temp was around 32. Most of us way over dressed for a rocket recovery walk. A very nice crowd.

Fun day! Nearly 40 degrees. Can't wait until March launch?!
No easy way to say this.
To every one who came in contact with Richard Cash, the Prefect at the last launch.
I have just been diagnosed with the flu. Symptoms started Wednesday night. Average infection time is two days, but it may be four days.
Sorry, I wouldn't wish this on anybody.
