Default Who's going to MWP9?

Our plan specifics are not concrete yet, but we'll be there. Maybe Thursday night, maybe not until Friday afternoon. Still planning my fleet as well. As of this time, we're registered and reserved! Who else is planning on attending?

Since I'm the only one going, I'd better pack heavy! Friday's main objective (if I get there Thursday night), is my elongated Loc/Precision "Heavy Duty Beauty" with a Halloween theme. Flying this one on a central H238 with four F39's. Planning to throw the main at apogee, so the wind might be a deciding factor.

Saturday's main event (for me) will be "Jorge Guacamole" DD on a J540R. Looking at this flight as L2 redemption, cuz I really don't feel like my L2 flight was a success.

That'll be an intense flight! How much does that little tank weigh?

How many adaptors are you going to use?
Fill those holes with some real motors are send that thing up!
This is Midwest Power, home of the brave and heartless high power superman, Tim The Wildman Lehr.
He'd laugh at you with that plan.

The outboards are only 24mm, so that's the best I can do. I could throw the 29mm I200 in the middle, that's about the only way I can juice it up without buying a bunch of new hardware.

Default More Power!

How about some F240's in those 24mm. holes.
Quite a few of us have those casings.
Too bad the holes are smallish.

My wife, daughter and I are going for the day on Sat. I'm not sure what we are going to bring, but we all enjoy watching as much as launching. Hopefully the weather is great.

Not sure yet what the final weight will be. I am thinking about 8-10lbs. I am ok with it being a little on the heavy side since it is suposed to hit about 3300ft. After the 600ft attempt last year I decided to try a little altidue this time around. As long as the wind is not to bad I will be ok.
