We just booked rooms at the Day's Inn Geneseo and they said they have a few rooms left but are getting a lot of calls. The weather is going to be excellent and the fields should be dry as toast by the weekend. Woweeeee!!!!

BRS,

Good luck with your launch this weekend. Unfortunately they are calling for nasty rain and thunderstorms every darn day from yesterday till tuesday next week. I hope they are wrong. They usually are :) Have Fun!

Anything spectacular or out of the ordinary flying this weekend?

Depends what you mean by spectacular and out of the ordinary... :-)

I'll be flying a twin-camera payload twice... once on a K motor, and once on an L. I hope to get some pretty decent pictures of the Geneseo area from 6000 feet.

Rick Dunseith will by launching his Extreme Paralyzer (a Tube-fin design that got him a successful Level 3 cert...) on an N2000 motor.

Kathy Miller will be doing her Level 3 cert flight with a stick-finned rocket called Fiddle Faddle. (An upscale of an Estes kit, if memory serves...)

Several of the members of my local club are bringing their Club rockets - hopefully we'll be able to launch`em in succession.

Good luck with your Fiddle Faddle Kathy. I'll be thinking good thoughts for you.
