Tripoli Wisconsin @ Bong August 13th

Tripoli Wisconsin @ Bong August 13th, are you coming, what are you flying?

Still on the fence about it. I have never been there before. I'm just a little concerned about the trees and water. I have only seen pictures of it. But, if I do, I'll bring my 3"Mac Arcas and 4" Drago XL. Just low impulse motors, and tracker. I am going there for LDRS for sure.

Come check it out, it really is a place you need to experience. If you need any help, lots of seasoned folks around that know the lay of the land well.

Ok sounds good I'll have to check it it. Really the only places that I have flown are Princeton and Pence Ind, 3 Oaks back in the 90's??

Thanks!

It's the Great Taste of the Midwest for me on the 13th. 5 hours and 5000 drunks. Oh Joy.

Please take pics of any exceptionally inebriated folks and post here please.

I probably will be there, weather permitting. But don't hold me to it, as I've been known to flake out before

Barring any issues with my back or rain, I will also be there.

The K750ST will be coming with but the cloud deck will determine what it flies in. I have my Demon at 18lbs flying to 2500' should there be clouds (for which I believed this motor would be great for) or my 5" Super Jart at 12lbs flying to 5k if there is an opening or the clouds are high.

Likely going to fly my 29mm and 38mm Big Daddy's as well. We will see.

Hey Guy's,

The weather doesn't look good but I'm taking the ride out with a 5" Gizmo that I just dusted off after 15 years.

Phil Miki and I purchased a new Buick. I guess we're getting old.

 

[PSLimo]

That's funny stuff from the last launch, lol.

Speaking of old, we'll see if the 15 year old RRC2 is still kicking.

It looks like we now have rain moving through in the AM and clouds all day.

Mildly annoying to say the least.

Lets cross our fingers.

Yeah looks like it might clear up by noon, but we shall see.

Awesome pics as always, Justin!! Thank you!!

The first pic with the sun breaking through the clouds over the prairie looks like its out of a story or magazine. It really captures the natural beauty of Bong.

Thanks as well to Tripoli Wisconsin!!!

Hey Justin,

Thanks for posting.

Today's launch gave a new meaning to "road trip recovery".

JF great group of photos.

I’m a great fan of upscale Photon Disruptors.

@djs , Did you make out? I flew a bunch of G's on a sod farm instead. Got wet with a few sprinkles. Gotta move dates so they don't conflict...

This year wasn't too bad for over-consuming. This is about 1/8-1/6 of the fest...

Tim flew a low power. Back to his roots.

I saw that. Tell me he had the biggest motor in there... or I'll really be disappointed.

I hope he used one of the new Quest motors. Maybe the D6? Tim will have to give us details of the flight.
