HPR Launch September 7th and 8th

[MadHatter]

Both days at 10:00am to 5:00 pm set up starts at 9:00.

Who will be there to help?

[Russ]

I can help with setup ( if there is any on Sunday). I can help with takedown as well. If you need LCO or pad manager, I can do a shift.

I won't be there on Saturday unfortunately.

Sager 's are planning to come - we'll try to get in early enough to help out :)

Sorry to hear, I was already in two places at once. Maybe the weather kept people away? Hopes for better turnout tomorrow, though it looks like it will be windy.

Does anyone know if the Sunday launch has been cancelled due to weather/winds?

[chadrog]

It's on!

Dude, Im impressed somebody is actually looking in the the right place for launch updates, the launch is on! We are here and enjoying a nice day to fly rockets come on out.

Believe me if it was canceled we would have posted it here.

That's pretty impressive - we don't even get cell service at Bong - We are off to a late start this morning - leaving shortly... we'll see you all in one to two hours :)

I had 2 flights on Sat. flew my Wildman 3" on a CTI 54mm K454 Skid. Used DD and rocket landed just North of launch pads about 100 yards into tall grass. 2nd I flew my Rocketry Warehouse F98 on a CTI 54mm J1520 V-max. Nice flight but main came out at the top and rocket drifted way North of the pads but didn't cross HWY142. Very glad I used a tracker or it would still be out there.
As I was tracking my 2nd flight I was thinking boy do a lot of flyers coming here for LDRS will have a lot to learn for recovery of their rocket.
May be see you at the TRA launch at the end of the Month. Its the last Bong launch of the year.

Unfortunately my schedule didn't work out to make the launches over the weekend. I'm hoping to get out to Bong next time around. Are there any more HPR launches planned at Bong for this year?

[Russ]

That was it for this year at Bong for the Woosh club launches. I believe there is 1 more TRA launch left at Bong in a couple of weeks. You would need to check there website to confirm dates.

[chadrog]

Correct, TWA has one more launch in the fair weather season - September 28/29. No Bongin' til the snow's flying after that. I need to plan something for that weekend, maybe my first 75.
