3300, wow. That might be a bit tough to spot, I assume you'll put a tracker in it? I was just thinking that a certificacion/dragrace would be cool, maybe Scott will bring the "Silver Bullet"?

Try to get there early, there's going to be an "N" dragrace with (I believe) at least ten participants. I'm not sure if there is a time scheduled for it, does anyone know? It will surely be something to see!

I am planning on using the club tracker for this and will launch it on the day that ther is no wind . I know it will be a little bit of a walk but it should be cool watching it go up on the big sparky motor. Level three can be under 1000ft again. Toying around with the idea of a 5 ft. Wocket or a 12 inch Sea Wolf but I need to focuss on the task at hand first.

Making your plans for MWP10 already? 12" Sea Wolf would be sweet!

Level 3 might be a 2 year project. There are a lot of things to work out like money and a place to build it. It is hard to go big when you live in an appartment but planning it out is half the fun.

Default I'm there all three days

I'll be there all three days. I'm planning on working my Endeavour Saturday and Sunday. I got a J340M and a K513J to use and only one rocket that will hold my altimeter so far. If I could get my Iris done I'd fly it nekid. Maybe I'll get the fins on this weekend

The R.A.T. family will be there all three days. Probably a high stress weekend for me. (Sorry, Dan. I need to listen to you.) The drag race is noon on Saturday. I'm in that, expecting about 18,000 feet if Pandora (6" Ultimate Wildman) survives the N5800 burn. I plan a little redemption flying as well... the 10" Jayhawk (Lazarus flight), the 12" modular booster (pending leg repairs), and the JayCoke Zero recycling bottle on an L3150 (prepped at LDRS but not flown due to TV producers monopolizing the away cell RSO). That seems an ambitious goal, but I will be ecstatic with any any two, satisfied with any one. (Low stress is still possible.)

I will be around all three days so I will be able to help out. All I have to do is send mine up and go find it. The plan is to get this out of the way Friday if the weather is good.

Thanks, Dan. I'm planning my schedule around your L2 flight, so I can help with anything you need also. You picked a good field and a great rocket, all we need is descent weather.
