Hopefully this will be better than my last "fun filled weekend"

[Rocketman248]

Well, my last fun filled weekend was kind of a bust.

This one should be a little better. First and foremost, I am doing the second launch of the Tour de Deuce! Jim, are you still planning on coming up?

I also have a few high power stuff ready to go. I have an H238T and an H210R for my Tethys. I also just got an I435T for my Extreme Performer. Does anyone know how much flame the I435T puts out?

I also have a whole bunch of estes motors left. I'm thinking of fixing up my model rocket fleet and flying a whole bunch of those.

The launch is being held by CTRA-NARCONN. It's in Pine Plains, NY. I encourage anyone in the area to attend. We need as many TRF people as possible. I'm pretty sure Dan Patell will be there. He usually doesn't miss a launch. Unless he's got a hockey game or a date or something. Jeez...that kid needs to sort out his priorities.

Check out www.ctra-narconn.org for more launch information.

Nick, the pair of Deuces will be shipping to you tomorrow morning or possibly this evening. Jason and I are getting together this afternoon to get everything packed and squared away. I can't speak on Jim's behalf, but I do think he has every intention on attending.

I agree with Nick - the more TRFers that can be present the better. There's nothing better than a bunch of excited rocketeers posing around some rockets!

Right now everything looks good (Kathy's even taken the time off of work ).

Nick, if you could, email me your phone number. I will be calling you later in the week to verify weather. You had indicated that if the club launch is cancelled that you would be launching them locally.

If we *do* come out, we would be leaving here straight for the launch site, so I need to know if I should be going west or south-west...

The only issue is that I was just reminded that I have a FlisKits booth at a local craft show. Right now it looks like my daughter (Jennifer) and her boyfriend may be able to run the booth for us. I will let you know later in the week.

Excuse me! I will be all means make way for a launch if I can. The parents are the deciding factor...and no women....so I'm clear I think!

Lets see....J570W in the Bull Pup....J420R in the Standard Arm...H238T in the Phantom 4000...E11J in the Monocopter...Maybe an I218R if I can get my Archer back together in time...sounds like a lot of fun to me!

Nick - The I435 will kick your Performer's butt! Decent blue flame, butt kicking flight, should be awesome!

The weather's looking pretty good so far. Looks like it's going to be a great final launch!

I just got the I435T. Cool motor. You gotta love 38mm motors that use a big nozzle instead of the little dinky nozzle. I can't wait. Ive never flown an HPR Blue Thunder motor before. This weekend I will be flying two.
