Good luck John! I’m sure your flight will go well as you usually do. Everything looks great except that one rusty quick link :angel: Unfortunately I am not able to return for Higgs Farm yet as I‘m home with a broken ankle. It’s my right driving foot so I can’t even drive there to watch.

Yup, that is what I did. Is this what you are looking for? PM sent.

Posting the copyrighted material is wrong. However, I’m not sure how paying a scaler 10x the price helps Peter at all. I have not done much research but there are print on demand services like by amazon that may improve the availability of these valuable resource.

They found the hole; it was right where I pointed. I heard they were there until 7pm or so retrieving the motor case from below.

Congrats John, it that is an amazing flight! Very well done. I was totally amazed at being able to see it way up their. I think you need to update your signature with your new best altitude. ;)

@Steve Why effective immediately? For folks fling this weekend this change can be a major PITA. A grace period for compliance would have been appreciated.

I hear there is nothing but gravel under neath the top soil so it drys very quickly.

I will have my mini Performer 98 ready to fly on a baby K motor for next weekend. I ground tested it last launch, and I'm just finishing up the AV bay now. My mini-98 is two feet over my head, and barely fits standing up in my garage. This O-class Performer must be some kind of monster. This is...

Wow ambitious schedule. I take it no paint? I need the build another loc kit soon. Great flight location as hopefully I’ll be able to see the result in person. Good luck!

Well Merry Christmas to me! :christmastree: Thank you Tim! :headspinning:

Hey, Sunday was a pretty low key day. There were like 4 universities preping most of the day. Maybe 10 or so other fliers including myself and Tom. The funnel cone rocket was awesome! My I1299WN flight was quit fun! I need to get more of those motors! It was quite windy and I needed to drive...

Thanks for letting us know what’s going on. I’m hopping to launch my rocket named Something Wicked on an I1299. See you tomorrow.

I always try to remove the linear and remnants ASAP after the flight. IMHO it might have prevented this stuck situation. I wonder if their are people who swear by delaying the clean up is easier.:music1:

Received my bag of goodies today! The last BF order to be placed but the first to be received. Thanks for the terrific product. And great service. Hopefully you your sale was a success for you and can now afford to get a keyboard without those sticky keys :D

On nice thing about the white terminal blocks is that the conductive components are recessed to prevent a short. I can conceive Mr Murphy causing a quick link or a swivel to short across exposed screws. As with many things in our hobby the proper use of some masking tape can mitigate this problem.

I left a 3/8 extension of the motor tube so I could do a wrap of tape for retention.

I have been directly connecting to my altimeter, but for my current project I’m going to be using terminal blocks. I have them from McMaster Carr along with other nuts and bit. Here is the part https://www.mcmaster.com/7618K613

Email sent with my order. I look forward to finishing up my Wildman Jr Two stager I ordered at last years BS sale, with some OBH harnesses.

This is your first Wildman kit, isn't it? They don't come with instructions, just bunch of fiber glass parts and sometime (like with the some Jrs) a small bag full of parts. Look up some of Crazy Jim's (blackjack2564) Wildman builds to get an understanding of how to build a fiberglass rocket...

Thanks for the great sale!
