Anyone already making the plans to make it out for the launch? Let's discuss what everyone's flying!

Dan,

Not Potter, but the Hurley, NY launch site Gill's Corn Farm.

Gonna try my first night (evening) launch ever. Not sure what yet Probably a Red with a bunch of stick on blinky lights and some cyalumes attached tot he harness.

5.5" Jayhawk on a K-whatever_canfind.

4" PR Nike Apache on a J-whathaveyou

Binder Excel Plus

I *might* bring the King Viper I bought from Dan P. and fly it on the origial speced load out of 3 x H-something.

Hope to make the night launch I have a loc forte i fly on skids that has blinky lights. Loads of FUN!

Work detail today to clean and check out equipment, setup range and test new Wilson Launch system (thanks Rocket Rev for solid system & Wildman for delivery)
Addition of 6 mid-power pads from Craig N. along with 2 new heavy pads, special thanks to Mike C. for beautiful fabrication.
Fields have been cut and recently disked, plenty of room for soft landings.


6K limit, plenty of pads, AMW Pro-X will be on site
With addition of new heavy pads, looking to allow up to "L" impulse with advance notice of project/ flight particulars etc and approval by Prefect or club Pres.

Just a reminder:
This is a working farm, they are still cutting some fields, so beware of equipment especially around the processing/loading dock.
Keep the speeds down while driving thu for safety and dust control.

Looking forward to great weekend.
