So who is going to MWP?
Bringing anything cool along?
I'm still working on my Gizmo XL DD
I'm riding down with Jay so it will likely be my only rocket.
Aw maybe I'll bring along something for the night launch

I'll be there. I'll have Rocket Fuel, my level 3 cert rocket and hope to do my cert flight on Saturday. I'll have my night flyer - 2nd Chance NX flying on an H. I'll be putting a J3?? Sconnie motor in the crayon rocket, flying in the Jart drag race, and flying a few other mid-power birds.

I will be down. Gizmo on the K2045, Jart on a couple thing. I built the Maxi Brute kit from Fred so that may go up. And a few more. I think we will need the clubs tracker.


Should be a fun launch. See everyone down there.

We're headed down Thursday afternoon. I have many flights planned, not going to let the Illinois "Trade Winds" get in my way! G, H, I, J, K, will be the letters of the weekend.

I will be there. First timer, looking forward to it. Leaving on Thursday night and stayin at the days Inn as well.
Plan on flying my Myztic for the night launch, Jart for the drag race, as well as a number of others. I will be using the letters E thru H with the possibility of my first I. Been stuck traveling a ton lately so not sure I will have that rocket ready.

It looks like I won't be attending this year. My plan was to make it on Saturday and get my Sat 1b in the air. My daughter had a baby in April and the baptism is Sunday, also with Illinois trapping season starting on Monday, I have a bunch of stuff yet to do.
You guys have a great time. :)

I'm riding down with Jay Rietz on Friday morning at the crack of dawn.
Will be bringing along the exceedingly large and heavy Gizmo XL DD for the drag race.
Plus one night flyer so I can use the paralite that Dennis gave me last year.

How many folks are looking to use the club trackers? I have two flights planned where I would like to have one handy: Ex Darkstar on K1275, and Jart on H268. Probably won't need it for the Darkstsr, but just in case.

I don't have my level 1 cert yet so no, not this year. The best I've got is, I'll be getting my mid power Argent rocket back from Russ after he found it at Bong (thanks Russ).

You wouldn't be the first to put an H in an Argent. ;)

Hmm.... Never thought of that. A "H" you say. To the rocket shop! Up, up and away!

Hey yah,
Brent Lillesand is also in the Gizmo drag race.
I'd have grabbed the trakers today but forgot the darn key for the trailer. I'll do it tonight.
Charlies place is a good spot to do ejection charge testing.
BOOM!

Hopefully you get it all tweaked, time is growing short! I THINK I'm ready... What motor are you putting in the Mega-Giz?

You really need to look into that, especially if you chose the Days Inn - they sometimes lose track of reservations. We arrived there last year to just that situation. :confused:

Well, its official. I won't be able to make it to MWP this year. Doctor told me I shouldn't really be travelling yet :(. I hope all who go have a great time and post some videos for me to watch!

I was hoping to at least make it to the sod farm Saturday, but I'm told standing out in a cold field is not the best thing for me either. From the looks of who's going I don't think there are many people left in town to fly!

Maybe I'll cardstock some MicroMaxx ornaments for the tree at the Christmas party....

Here's hoping me and the Jart can make it next year :)

That's surely a bummer, but the health has to come first. I'm sure there'll be another one next year. If you would, throw an extra X-15 on the tree for me. :D

It's a great way to spend a weekend for sure, 'bout as much fun as you can (legally) have in a corn field!
