I'm a heck of a lot more interested in what E-F-G motors Cayemberg is going to fly! I love his Sconnie motors, but those are usually big. "Other Eric," do tell... What rockets? Pics or you're lying...
Hey Erik!!! Well, I burned 45 lbs of APCP in 10 seconds at LDRS...so I only have little motors left!
Actually, the rail request is for the kids. Not just for mine...I've learned that putting the rockets on the pad is a necessary part of the action for the kiddos. I've witnessed first hand where kiddos are no longer interested in participating at high power rocketry events when they cannot put rockets on the pads. I understand the rule, I understand the underlying Insurance implications, and I understand the enforcement. I applaud the groups like QCRS for enforcing the rules (even though they may be unpopular) while accommodating to the best of practical reality. IE: don't exclude the kids, but provide the proper setbacks that allow supervised children to fly on the front end of the range while maintaining safe distance criteria. But I digress...
Along those lines, our friend Adrian (not Carl) loves to crash perfectly good Loc Goblins. I'm not actually sure how it's possible to destroy 4" Goblins so well, but Adrian has it figured out! So Adrian throws the remnants of a smashed Goblin at me. Since I clearly *need more rockets*, I can't throw it away. Along comes young Jedi Cody, recognizes it as a Goblin, and plots a rebuild! At 8 years old, this kid makes me look like the elementary student! Adrian's Goblin has literally and phonetically been shortened from
GOBLIN to
GOBL, or
GOBBLE. So here's the kid fiberglassing fins last night! Proud dad moment:

Gobble, and some other D-E-F-G powered critters will be flying the near pads Saturday-Sunday, thanks to the QCRS Crew!!!
On the small Sconnie Motor Works side of things...I do have a lot of 29mm grains that could be turned into mid power motors. Time permitting, it is a definite possibility!
On the bigger side of things, since getting back from LDRS, my main project has been replacing our deck. It has consumed my every free moment! So, it's whatever I can put together or prep in the short time that remains between now and then. We shall see...deck WILL be done this week darnit!
I'll bring a spiral snap ring that fits in an Aeropack tailcone if you bring that Sconnie Sparky again
I also owe Chuck some video footage and Amy a Punisher race. Beyond that... just amped! Can't wait to see y'all again!
Good Doctor...your friend/semi-clone David Griffin burned that one last December! Once Hot Tub got his grubby paws on it, he kindly offered to burn it for you!
But thanks for the reminder....so long as I get a bit of time and temps to cooperate, I'll have a 7600 Sconnie Sparky there for you! But only Saturday and Sunday again...so bring the nice weather east with you for the weekend, will you please!?!?!
Coincidentally, I also promised Amy a motor for her Punisher. I s'pose I gotta bring two now!
