Sullivan Lake XXVIII (2021)

[garlicsnapper]

Hey! Who's all planning on coming out to Sullivan Lake this year? What are you bringing to fly?

I'm planning on bringing out my entire high-power collection of course, including a fiberglass rocket that I call Higher Calling. She hasn't flown since Rock Lake 21 (2019). Once again, I plan on flying her with an AeroTech L1000W and hope to crack that 9,000 foot AGL altitude. I'll have a new Mobius 808 #32 video camera strapped on board to capture the entire flight. The launch two years ago on the L-motor was absolutely spectacular; I can't wait to repeat it!

I'll be there. I'm going for my L3 with a J290 in a 4' LOC Zeus equipped with a camera as well. I'll be bringing as much as I can fit in the car.

I will be there, no idea if I can finish things in time, but hoping to get the LRA club project off, its a 4" minimum diameter Black Brant Vb. This flight will be the first since we hosted LDRS...

The grass is totally dead down here, so it will probably require a lot of fall rains to get a fire permit....

I'm doing rain dances every morning

I’m hoping for the primary site too. I know it’s going to be an uphill battle with our hot season this year.

Will either of you be there if it’s at the secondary launch site?

 

[Dipstick]

If that site is Hanna, yes I would come up for at least the Saturday, maybe a campover Friday night. Do you guys have landowner permission for camping?

 

[garlicsnapper]

I don’t know if there is or not at the Hanna/Spondin site. I should look into it with Calgary Rocketry.

I'll still be attending if it's going to be Hanna.

If it is at the primary site, I'll be there. I need to get my L1 cert done.

I checked with Calgary Rocketry. There is no camping available at the Hanna/Spondin launch site.

 

[garlicsnapper]

I’m curious, does anyone do launch pad video camera (pad cam) work at the Sullivan Lake/Rock Lake launches?

 

[Dipstick]

Occasionally someone has set a cam at the pad, but I haven't seen it too much. I have set my phone under a G powered rocket and was pleasantly surprised with the results

 

[garlicsnapper]

I just might have to try my iPhone then on some HPR launches of mine!

Anybody getting in on the Executioner Challenge? I most certainly am!
