Nice report, Captain! I witnessed the flight of Awareness from launch through the deployment of the lingerie. The girl put on a great show!
I was hoping to meet up with you and your crew and Kit, but I didn't see you guys. I did meet up with ChrisAttebery and his family, and I saw his awesome L2 cert flight. I saw SCrocketfan and witnessed his L1 flight as well as a few others --- he does not mess around and gets lots of flights up. I also saw Ari fly the amazing Have Pink glider a few times --- there was one really fantastic flight and one unfortunate disaster. And I also met Robbdm. It was great to see everyone.
I got my L1 on Friday before I had met up with most of the TRF members. Good flight with the pod rocket on H115DM drilled to 6 seconds. I prefer to watch my own rockets fly with my eyeballs and not watch a small viewfinder screen. So I have no pictures. If anyone has any photos or video of the pod rocket, that would be great.
Sorry, I missed this post and didn't upload pics earlier. Here are the pics from the MDRM drag race, unfortunately I didn't get any of your other pod rocket flights.
Thanks for posting these, SC! The pictures turned out great! That drag race was a lot of fun.
I'm going to have to get a suitable camera for rocket photography and take a few pictures and videos myself. All the decent photos and videos I have of my rockets in flight were taken by other people.
So bummed we didn't make it this year.
Ever since the move from Elk Grove to Lincoln and opening the new law practice rockets have taken a back seat. But no more. Got the garage cleaned up and hanging the shop lights this weekend. We will be building/repairing a number of rockets and hope to be at LUNAR Snow Ranch in December.
Nice report qquake
I can't wait for Snow Ranch to open up! Do the rain dance!
I can't wait either! I'm planning to fly an H159 (Green3) in the Magg and maybe an H54 (or another skidmark) in the Max in december if there's enough rain.
I showed my wife the pictures you posted of the drag race, and now she wants to see the pod rocket fly on that sparky motor. She might come out to Snow Ranch the next time I go to a launch. I really haven't done any rocketry work since October Skies. I still need to glue the foam landing pad on one of the pods back into place. And I haven't decided whether to try to fix the Big Daddy and MAIII or just salvage the NC and recovery gear and move on.
Thanks for the great report Jim. Especially liked your Awareness flight.
