    How was MDRA? I was ill, wanted to go badly, but no way that weekend.
    Great weather..

    Pretty good, only got there for the last couple of hours. It was really windy out there! I was able to get my MDRM and SA-14 Archer off on G's

    Just saw on the MDRA facebook group that someone is planning on launching a Full Scale Patriot powered by an N5600 this coming sunday. This weekend is also the annual Christmas tree launch.

    Either of these are cool, loved the Xmas tree launches in past years. Been accused of cheating just because the trunk of my tree looked like an AMRAAM. I don't see it as cheating, I see it as find holes in the rules.

    N5600 for something that big should be cool, should have no problem seeing the entire flight.

    A patriot is about 17ft tall according to the interwebs...I wonder what their projected altitude for that is.

    I have bought a couple of these Estes rocket sets for my sons. One didn't work at all. I'm sure I did something wrong but I can't figure what exactly. Everything appeared to be correct. I have another one that we are going to try as soon as the weather is just a little warmer.

    LDRS this weekend!

    I know... LDRS this weekend, and I'm headed to NYC to watch my daughter play lacrosse. Oh well, it's her senior year. So next year, I'll be there.

    What are you launching?

    Remember, keep the pointy end up, and the fiery end down!!

    Good luck!!

    Not going to fly anything, I don't do HP yet, so it's not really worth the cost to launch at ldrs for me. I plan on heading down at least sunday, maybe saturday and sunday to watch. The featured flight list is getting pretty long now, can't wait!

    Worked on my Semroc repro of the old Centuri Defender. It's a 3 motor cluster, I'm using it for my entry for the classic model contest at ecrm.

    And the upper stages of my Saturn V, what a masking nightmare.
