WOOSH rocketry @ Bong- 7/23- 7/24

[djs]

Anyone going? I'll be there both days, although not sure how long due to the heat. I've got a new mobius camera that I'm itching to try out!

 

[Charles_McG]

Probably bottling spiced cider on Saturday. Maybe Sunday.

 

[ECayemberg]

Planning on attending on Sunday. Have to do some dropping off, picking up, and hopefully burning a bit of WThunder and Vmax. Hope to see you there!

 

[scsager]

Saturday = yes in the AM, leaving noon~ish for other obligations. Sunday = Yes full day. Have a newly built Wildman Demon 54 , a Chute-Release, and too many un-burnt motors.

I am still offering a $150 reward for the return of my steering bay and kite.

I'll go looking for the kite/bay on Saturday- I should have time.

The winery is open (and air conditioned) if you need a weather break.

Are you open Sunday?

 

[Charles_McG]

Yes. 12-5 officially. We may be there a bit earlier.

Well after I finish swapping and spectating, I'll head over there around Jimmy Buffet time.

Then I'll see you there tomorrow, Tim. I have a little rocket bit for you. I'll try to remember to bring it along.

Its rained here in Spring Green all day. How's weather been at Bong today??

 

[Charles_McG]

It's been dry at the orchard. A mile or so straight north of the launch area. Low clouds and getting lower and darker.

The day started with broken sun and a ton of humidity. Low wind.

 

[djs]

I was there until 3pm. It was HOT AND HUMID! Clouds were rolling in, but no rain before I left.

 

[GRIFFIN]

I'm heading out on Sunday. I've got a rocket to fly and stuff to pick up from Tim. Hope to see you guys tomorrow.

Jason, Tim who? I hope I don't owe you something... ;(

Was there a good amount of flying on Sat.? any pictures?

 

[djs]

Pretty good amount- more than I would have thought due to the heat. Carl flew his 6" Eagle Claw on an M motor- very nice flight. Several L1 flights. I flew my 2.6" darkstar on a I140 skid- video here:

That I140 Skid is a motor I really like to fly. Have fun all

 

[Charles_McG]

Dual E12 CATOs


Bye Bye, Ventris SLV

 

[crossfire]

Those Estes E motors should be pulled from the market. But our leaders will say make sure you file a MESS report. All the E motors do is make a MESS out of our rockets.

 

[djs]

Weather was nicer today- with a bit of wind, it was tolerable. Good flights, other than Charles's CATO, which was kind of cool to watch, in a "glad that didn't happen to me" way.
