Well, my dad and I have been discussing my HPR participation at LDRS... He says that this launch will be "much harder to do" than normal CMASS or Pinetree launches along the lines of me doing HPR. Both places seem quite easy to do HPR at as long as my dad is with me. But he seems very worried about this one... He thinks it will be much more "by the book". He doesent know anything more than I do about this, so I thought I would ask you.
What will it be like? Is it hard to do HPR at big launches like LDRS? Should I even come with my dad to the check-in table for my HPR birds? Or are these people just like CMASS and Pinetree people, more or less tolerant if not encouraging? Im a little confused about all this... I really want to launch some big stuff (mainly the Shadow and Flame, which will be done in time... Assuming I can find a way to get a J350 or J420...), but my dad thinks it will be pretty hard... Is it? (question mainly directed at other teenagers who do HPR...) What are the expectations?
And what are the lines like? How many pads? Are they like CMASS lines (10-15 people), or Pinetree lines (0-0 people )? How many flights can one person get in during 3 or 4 days at LDRS? Are the RSOs very strict about motor retention? At Pinetree you can get away without any retention at all just friction fit... Is it the same story at bigger launches?
So can anyone just tell me what to expect?
Thanks.
