Are you launching this weekend? And if so what rockets are you preparing for flight?
Low-mid-high power whatever ya got let’s see some pictures of what you may fly.
Have a safe Memorial Day all
 
Small field so only LPR.
I have a bunch of E2Xs that have never touched the sky so they will have their maidens on Sunday.

And this one that has flown a couple of times. Going up on a QJet D20.

Then off to Punchbowl to pay my respects.

Not me because USPS wants to take the longest route possible to ship my ematches.
 
Waiting to hear if Sunday is a go up here in Minnesota.

I have my go to almost always ready to fly mid and high power rockets. My Dx3 is currently moth balled.20210508_092104.jpg

I am doing some repaint on my 4" Frenzy, the first flight on a AT J415w had a hard landing, no major damage, I also painted the fins metalic blue. Just need to re assemble with the ebay and recovery gear. It out performed my simulation by a little, could fly on a 38 I 1299, or I have a AT K185w loaded up.

I did get my 1/4 scale Viking 7 rocket up in the air last year on a AT L1000w dms. The flight was good, low and slow. I have sense put some more paint on it and revised the drouge and main chute process and looking to fly it this year on a 75mm AT L1256ws to 2,200'.

Wow! Great pictures
 
going to my first National Sport Launch. I have to Re-certify Level 1 :mad: (total crock of horse s!#^) with my PML MR-1 on an H90 if the guy shows up with the motor. I'll try to get the 25 year old J350 motor to launch my Apogee Level-2 rocket after taking the written test (the Sheeple must be monitored for intelligence)😛
Also have the Blobbo, Lil Goblin, and the Diablo

Going up to Alamosa, Co. to fly with SLVR at “Spudnik”. It’s a 1 1/2 hour drive. Red flag warning starts at 11 AM, so we only have a 3 hour window to fly....
 
Same here. As through Es with my son. 13 decent launches. One slightly unstable Saturn V and a broken fin on a Viking that's already fixed were the only negatives in a great morning of flying.

The TRASH Lab is doing pre-flight inspections on Der Red Max, Arreaux, and a couple of H-I powered scratch builds..

The forecast is favorable at Cape Cottonfield for all 3 days with clear skies and low winds. However, there are EPA concerns at Red Clay Launch Complex. This morning's situation:

And Launch Complex 1 is in need of maintenance:

But Launch Complex West is in good condition for low altitude flights. However, the local AHD hasn't released final OK for launches. Honey-do's may take precedence over advancements in space exploration...

Wishing I could be at NSL!
