    Good to meet you too, sorry to see your CR go MIA. I sent jolly logic an email about mine. Hopefully they just do a direct replacement. It will only turn on if you hold in the right button, then shuts off as soon as you let go.

    Yeah, I think so too. They have really high visibility on all of the rocket forums, I don't think they'd do something to give themselves bad press in such a tight vocal community.

    My chute release is already fixed and on its way back. Great customer service from Jolly Logic. Turned out to be a loose battery connection.

    Any of the MDRA guys here know if there is a contact to find out if it gets rained out on sunday? The forecast keeps flip-flopping...do they fly in light rain?

    The NARHAMS Mt. Airy rain date is this Sat. Look like good (but hot) launch weather. Got my regular and mega red maxes ready to go. And what I'm calling Tri-Flier XL, a Hi-Flier XL with 3 Hi-Fliers strapped on for parallel staging.

    Little DA and I might be there, so he can watch the launches. Look for the tan hat with HK in black letters.

    Beautiful work there. ^^^
    Thanks! I hope to put the mega DRM up on an F50 on sat, and hopefully give my repaired chute release a good workout this weekend.

    I believe they are expecting several scout groups this weekend, so there should be quite a few kids around. :thumbsup:

    Hot. Defeated trees today.
    Hot is an understatement! Man it was roasting out there, had fun though. Did battle with a tree myself and won (after a long trudge through the waist high grass). Good seeing you out there again yesterday!

    So where do I get into this?

    Beenmany years, but sounds fun.

    Our club that was launching yesterday flies every month. Anyone can show up and launch at the club launches, and if you want to join, dues are only 10 cents a week ($5 a year).

    I'm mad I missed your Mega Red Max, I was out hunting. How did it fly? Must have been a nice big chute on that thing, good for a video.
