So far I'm planning on bringing a WM 4" Goblin with a K-456 and a 5" scratch build rocket, with WM fiberglass airframe (Cujo) on a L something and a second flight on a small M.

And then go looking for some bacon wrapped cheese curds. Or maybe before the flights.

 

[pondman]

On the calendar and the rockets are excited!!!

 

[mattpoker86]

I can't wait! I'll be bringing my shapeshifter 75 for my level 2 cert. It's getting either a j-450 or k-550. Also bringing my shapeshifter jr with an i-357, and maybe a 4" loc goblin.

I got a couple things up my sleeve... 54mm two stage, Jayhawk, 4" bird, etc.

 

[rfjustin]

@StreuB1, K-1000 in that grey and red 4" bird this time instead of the K-560.

 

[pnobile]

Or maybe some Preston EX sparkies @rfjustin??

Seeing that Jayhawk fly in person alone is worth the trip!

Re-prep the Prometheus?

Come see me around 2:15 on Sunday and gauge how tired and cranky I am.

 

[mattpoker86]

Only a few more days! The decals for my shapeshifter 75 came today just in time. Hopefully we can get some good weather!

Thanks for the awesome time today! Was great to put some faces with names! Both of my flights went well, other than a tracker mishap on one of them. I flew a Shapeshifter 75 on a K550 to 8171', and a shapeshifter jr on an I357 to 3007'. My shapeshifter 75 flight started out with a bit of a wobble, but straightened out quickly. Any ideas why? The thrust to weight ratio was 8:1, and I'm thinking it might do better with a little more kick off the pad.

Was it Cone-ing ? Kind of like the tail doing a sorta circle?

 

[mattpoker86]

I don't think it was coning, the tail just went back and forth once before it straightened out.
