I have to work every other weekend, but this time, my weekend off coincides with a launch. (Provided I don't get called in at the last minute.) I'm looking at the weather and looking at my rockets to decide what I might fly.

Thank's for the reminder, gotta charge a battery... Oh yeah, I'll be there! Keep the wind forecast in mind while planning your flights - current guess from the weatherman is 10 to 15. Not great, but manageable.

Assuming my last minute business trip doesn't run long. I plan on being there and if all goes well trying for my L2.

Be careful Russ, that's a long drive. Wind forecast for Saturday has improved, now at 5 to 10.

I plan to be there and hope to fly two of my winter builds, Wildman Drago & Wildman Vindicater Jr. Since the weather hasn't been warm enough yet for paint they'll have to fly naked.

Not looking likely here, you guys have a good time! I've a few of new birds to fly, now if I could just make it out to a launch!

Come on Paul, you know you're the designated responsible adult!

Great turnout for a March launch, saw some excellent flights. I had a good time despite a drag separation and an E9 cato.

Aww, so sorry I missed it... As I suspected, something came up I had to deal with at work.

Thanks again for showing me a good time at Bong Last June for my LVL 1 Cert......

Did you guys have the launch on Saturday ?? I thought Wisconsin got hammered with snow?

No snow this past week, hoping its done for the season. Saturday was a busy day, busier than a March launch should be! Lots of good stuff, with the exception of my two flights. Condolences to the USLI team who's BIG rocket came apart at maxQ, not a pretty sight. Are you planning a visit this year?

Not sure yet if I can swing a trip home this year .......... right now we are planning a graduation party for my oldest son. I have started documenting the repair of my archer though and I plan on posting some of the repair soon...
What happened to those two flights of yours you mentioned ?
