[barstoolmike]

Arg ya scurvy dog Crazy Jim, I'm in the Pyrate drag race, even if I can't trust ye other pyrates to play fair.
Plus Mach Madness if I get it built in time. Dedicating time to finishing our Full Scale Patriot comes first.

Mike

 

[GRIFFIN]

Put me down for the entire lot!! Will be four races I'll be in for Arrrr!

 

[dixontj93060]

If you'll make an exception for the Pirate drag race (and why wouldn't you pirates cheat) I'll fly my near min dia Bleeding Edge. As stated already in Big Skid race if held no later than noon on Sat. Also in Mach Madness (although build is going slower than expected).

[mannyskid]

I am just doing Mach Madness, and mad I am! I hope I can even get a rocket built in time! I haven't even started on my rocket yet......

I was going to do the big skid drag race buuuuuttttt........I don't think my rocket would pass by RSO anymore....

 

[barstoolmike]

Sure it could Manny, just put the pieces in your pockets & reassemble it at the pad.:y:

Manny you could rebuild that in time for TS ,it looks like there is one good body tube and a set of fins, your halfway there.
P.S. Jackie made a really good diner for us on Saturday you missed out on.

The upper body tube has a really big crack in it, so it is pretty much unusable. I do have the Ultimate Blackstar, but there is no way that I could finish that before Thundah-Chicken, too much homework.

I wish I could have been there, but I had a woman to tend to

Are we still doing mini-Midwest Power again this year?

 

[nh4clo4]

Don't say that !!! Manny already spends 1/2 hour at the pad with a fully assembled, fully prepped rocket... :tongue:

So according to my pirate ebonics. No one id DD. I should have a beer or 3 and have my wife recover said rocket., I may be in then.

Tree beers says ye?? Only after ye rockets be flown, ye don't want the quick stop at the bottom of a short rope from the Dread Pirate Gus do ye??

 

[halcro1]

Hiccup. Ye Der.

Not quite............. translation:

Thread is for stating which races you are participating in.

You state: Jart on K...ok your in the race. ......then you say too bad,,,blah.....blah...blah...So your not in the race?

Capt says: what's the point of your post....."meaningless dr'bble"

Wildmen just fly......Mildman worry about DD.

Worried about a long walk, no tracker? NO don't drink before flying......stick a bottle of rum in it [plastic of course]. Let everyone know about the rum & someone will go find it just for the booze as a reward for bringing you back the rocket.


"what say ye thar?
So are you in or out? Watch'n or win'n?
Or just posting for no particular reason?

So put a X-chute in to minimize drift. "and just fly it!"

I'm using a Gizmo with a 24in X-chute, a 20.00 read only altimeter stuck in a pill bottle taped to the shock cord. Don't get any simpler....oh and my name & cell number written on tape stuck to the side.

Sooooooo once again........ye be in......or out?

 

[WILDMANRS]

What was the cause of your motor problem there Manny ???

D

You already answered your own question it was MANNY.:rofl:

M SKIDDY DRAG RACE WASSERFALL UPDATE:
Wasserfall has been dry fitted and assembly has been started. Thanks also to Gary Kawabata from Prairie State rocketry club to help me with the build.

Achtung! Watching this Das Rakete Wasserfall launch at Thunderstruck may lead to German rocketry addiction.
