That sucks Andy, so sorry to hear. Myself and my recovery crew are always happy to help out, though often times we loose track of your rockets! We'll still try though!

Hope to make it to the meeting this month to see what everyone has been working on

Sorry to hear that Andy. Don't worry about the launches, i'm glad to help you out. I'm looking forward to some low-power, low-cost launches.

Thanks guys. Nice to have such a great local club with such awesome people. I'm still going through all the tests and such; wouldn't be surprised if I end up glowing in the dark after all this

I would be interested. Would be nice to get out of the house. And my TV is broken so Packers aren't even an option for me

we had a beautiful day for launching rockets, temps in the low to mid 60's wind was 0-5mph AWAY from the mall and the trees! all rockets were recovered with minimal walking. saw my first 6mm cato(nozzle blew out, no damage to the rocket). tried out my converted land rocket with a 1/2A3-2t...as a proof of concept it went fine. as for amazing speed well, it went about as fast as it did using the cold power motor(not very fast) nor did it go overly far, could probably have run it in a standard driveway...have to try a 'full A3' next time.
speaking of which, JB and I are thinking of adding an event to the JC list of activities land rocket drag races. motors to be limited to 13mm A's(bp, at least for now. we may allow 18mm A's later)
