We just sent out an email, updated the club express site (https://qcrc.clubexpress.com/) and FaceBook pages with the cancelation this weekend. FYI, I think WOOSH will be flying at Bong on the 27th of January, depending on the weather naturally. Otherwise, we've got the next scheduled launch...

It was a beautiful day for rockets at the QCRC launch on Saturday. Fantastic weather, a little breezy in the afternoon but clear as a bell. The turnout was great, a lot more people turned up than I expected. We had at least one Level 1 certification! Congratulations!! Also, the U of I...

A little late, but I've been swamped lately with work and Midwest Power. Here's the Featherweight GPS recording of my L3 flight of the Punisher 4 on the M1297.

I’ll be there with a couple of old favorites to fly. Weather is supposed to be great!! Look forward to seeing the rest of you there 😎

You got Tim and my Goblin 5' drag race on the 60's!! Thank you! You can see Tim was already off the rail while my L1940 was still coming up to pressure.

Thank you @jd2cylman!! It was only with YOUR HELP and SO MANY OTHERS that I could pull this off!! I'd try to thank EVERYONE, but the list is so long I could never even hope to get it right! Hopefully I do it justice here: Thank you to my TAPs, Kloudbusters, QCRC, Tripoli Wisconsin, *ALL* of...

I saw the flight and I concur with this assessment -- in fact I remember commenting on how long the motor chuffed on the pad before building up pressure. 😥 I would say the most likely explanation is the starter did not reach the top grain, causing the chuffing.

I have to say, it was an awesome Mini Midwest Power this year! In case you were wondering, here's a breakdown of the flight cards that I got at the close of the launch on Sunday. Saturday we had a total of 109 flights, broken down by motor they look like this...

As I mentioned previously here are the flight statistics that I recorded.

Well, if you missed it, you missed a great day. After the light rain moved out, around 9:30-ish, we had a few hours of clear blue sky. And doughnuts for those brave enough to get there early. Honestly I lost track of how many Level 1 and 2 attempts we had today. Some succeeded, others...

I am flying in on Thursday this week just so I can make it out Saturday morning. Not sure what I'm bringing yet - kind of depends on the weather. I know for sure I've got an L1256 and a K780 that are loaded and waiting to fly, maybe a 54mm like a K550 or K480 - don't remember just now...

I should be able to make it 🤞 (I know I said that before and didn't get back in time.... keeping fingers crossed)

So, it turns out I'm not going to make it. 😥 I hope to see you all next month! ~Dave~

I'm planning on coming down for the launch, but it turns out I'm leaving for Albuquerque Monday, and I'm supposed to come back on Friday. Hopefully. 🤞 ~Dave~

I was kind of surprised, too, given the poor weather we've been having lately and the nice clear sky. It was a little breezy, but it turned out fine if you kept the altitude down and did dual deploy. My only flight landed just in the field by the parking lot so I can't complain, but I've had...

Here are the 2023 launch dates so far: Jan 21 Feb 18 March 18 The remaining dates are TBD. Dave

I just assumed everyone knew I'd be there :cool: I look forward to meeting the new Wildman rep in person!!

If you're still looking for a StratoLoggerCF for TARC, please DM me.

I’m at the field but it’s awfully lonely here. I’m going to call the launch canceled today. See you next month!! Dave
