Not going to be able to fly much due to health issues (Lyme disease sucks*).
Wish I was able to enter the Country Line Hobbies H I J challenge. Sounds like fun! And a lot more walking than I'm currently capable of.


*See what I did there. 😉

The Breaded Tenderloins is enough to make me want to go. I grew up in the mid-west and you do not find them out east.
 
Great to hear Thunderstruck is back!
While the cost of HPR has gone up enough that I likely won't be flying anything, I still plan to attend and watch everyone else burn some serious ap. This will be the first big launch for my kids so definitely looking forward to it!

Yes sir, that's me. Thanks Eric! I have 2. It will be good to see you there!

We attended a couple launches in 2020/21, but hadn't been to one until this past weekend and my son couldn't get enough. Lots of hooting and hollering on every flight. He's really going to enjoy Thunderstruck.

Let's get some excitement going here. What are you all bringing?! I've only been to one Thunderstruck (2014) and man was it memorable. Let's see or hear about those projects!

On a side note, is the full scale patriot flying again? It's on the featured flights page.

I'm planning on toting the trailer down so I'll have a little bit of everything as options. I'd like to get a few of these up though some 3, 4 and 5 inch airframes on some J-M's

I'll also a bucket of models, old middies and a tackle box full of BP motors I lend out for the kiddos to fly. Bring the kids by grab a few to use for the day if they don't have anything to fly. The more the merrier

Just in case you are looking for one more reason to attend ThunderStruck 2023, several of our AMAZING landowners will be on hand with their UTV's to help you recover your rockets. They will be asking for a small donation to take you to your rocket! Faster recovery means more flights! Don't think about it too long ... online registration closes tonight at Midnight.
 
1 week to go now! Weather is looking pretty good as of now, gonna be warm out there!!
What is everyone planning on flying? Still trying to decide which days to attend, but I don’t wanna miss anything big. Can’t wait!

Looking at the projected forecast and I am pessimistic as of today. The day I planned on flying is Saturday. Clouds, windy and some pop ups are in the forecast. I hope it changes for the better the next couple days and gets more manageable to fly.
