That weather report reminds me of my favorite saying by Neil McGilvray

"Don't worry about the weather...It will be there."

There's usually more to the quote: "And so will we."

(But in this case, it doesn't apply to me.)

That's great news Jim. I'll be looking forward to seeing you again. I missed not having you around at Southern Thunder. Are you up for a 4" M2200 skidmark drag race??? I've got a motor coming and haven't been able to decide what to do with it.

I'll also be flying a new Mongoose 54 on a Loki L1400 and a 3" min diameter rocket on a Loki L1482 for a shake down flight and then coming back with a KBA M1450W that sims to over 26,000'. That one will be fun.

I'm not sure what other rocket/motor combination I'm going to fly right now but I have two AT M650 long burns, an AMW M2500GG and an AT M2030 Mojave Green plus several other nice motors to burn.

It's going to be an awesome week in Kansas.

See ya There!!!

Jim, What are you flying? Do you know if Brad Gibbons is going up there?

Andrew

 

[ECayemberg]

I'll be there. Planning a de-ja-vu flight of my L2 flight from LDRS 19 in Orangeburg (4" rocket J350W), standard length Bruiser on a N2600GG, Whiplash 38 min dia on J825R for Mach Madness, Competitor 4 on an M1882LW, and a 3" min dia "Carbon Slipper" on a KBA M1450W.

My Dad will be going for L2 with a J350W in a scratch built 4" bird. He's also bringing two other 4" rockets, a 3", and two 2.6" birds for various flights H-J. He'll be drag racing his Loc IV against my Loc Heavy Duty Beauty on an H268R.

We're greatly looking forward to the launches! See you there!

Hey Andrew!

I will bring a M-2200, just in case Maybe we should do a M-1450 race for altitude. Might help in finding the rockets, having two of us looking!

Andrew, I was told Brad might come up for at least part of the weekend.

[Gym_Class_Hero]

I wish! It's right after school starts. I hope next year's LDRS is in either June, July, or (early) August.

At the very least we can help each other pick up the shredded parts from our rockets and look for the motor casings...

See ya There!!!

--Lance.

Thanks Lance. I'm not sure I could do Argonia without some stuffed Jalapeno's and Cap't Morgan.

I'll send him an email.

Andrew

 

[Scoop1261]

I will also have an AMW M2200SK, wouldn't mind getting a little drag race action happening as well.

Any idea what day you guys might be looking at doing it?

 

[agrippo]

I'm scheduled to do some range duty on Thursday morning and mid Saturday afternoon but any other time then that during the six days I'll be ready.

I can get Bob Brown to do an annoucement asking for anyone that wants to join in and maybe we can get several people. I'd love to see five or six Skidmarks go up at the same time. The most I've seen go up at once is three and they made the ground shake when they took off.

We'll have to talk to the Wildman or someone and see if we can't get some thermite igniters built for them. Think we'd make the magazines and videos with that kind of drag race?

I'll be there, I'm 14 and will be lucky to fly a couple of h's and an I. This is my first ldrs and cant wait to get there, I will only be there sat- sun because of school. You know how it is , "can I skip school for the reassearch days?" dad says yes mom says no . Im 14 I guess thats how it goes. hmm maybe in college. AP human geograph homework is also the reason I won't be bringing the mach buster I've been planning.:cry:
