Default HPR Launch at Bong August 18th and 19th

We are a go for the launch on August 18 and 19th!

TWA agreed to allow us to share the date on August 18th as all other dates for August are picked over by the Dog events.

So we have the Bong runway to ourselves TWA/WOOSH, we are not sharing it with other events which means we can start without restrictions (other than the dry conditions) which we need to consider on the day of the launch.

Start time 9:30 10:00 ish depending on how many hands we have on deck for setup, the launch will run until we either run out of motors/rockets or until around 5:00 pm or what ever comes first.

I just noticed on the TWA forum that Vern Hoag is going to bring his GIANT 1b for display on the 18th, TOO COOL!!!!!

A few quick questions:

Other than potentially skids, are there any other limitations we need to be aware of at this time?
Is Tim schuedled to be there for motor purchases , if yes is it both days?
Are there any differences we need to be aware of such as flight cards or procedural differences since we are sharing with TWA?

No limitations to speak of, probably not even skids. Baring something unforseen, Tim will be there for the weekend. No different plans or procedures for us, WOOSH is as WOOSH does. I'll be there around 8:00am for setup.

Thanks Chad. All answers are what I was hoping for. Assuming the weather is good on both days, i will be there on Sunday and I can help do take down. As much as I want to do both days, I need to dedicate some time to some other "chores".
No complaints though- just got the green light to add in a launch that starts in "Midwest" and ends in "Power".

The next couple weeks are going to be nice - I've got too much pent up launch energy, need some release. Should probably get my hotel room secured down in Princeton too.

Reservation verified at Days Inn for the better half, me and Jeremy. The better half says she is going to take pics. A real bonus as she does take good photos. I think she is really going because she has concerns about me, Woosh members, trailer full of Wildman goodies for sale, and our credit card. Something about mixing them together, no clue what she means.
Oh well, I love a challenge.

I have to ask - how many times did you have to spell your name when you made your reservation? Laughing...
