I'll take you up on that. You know where I fly too, The hayfield can get pretty dry in the summer. I have a new J365SK in my mag itching to get lit. See you in the spring perhaps...
Yep I know where you fly.....you haven't figured out how to get the water from that river to the launch area yet? ;-) Spring, we'll be there all winter.....the frozen ground is much better than the almost frozen mud.

Small sparkies are fun. Here's my G100, from the way-back machine...

Here's it's bigger cousin, an I225, more recently. Less sparks, more red.

Unfortunately, the bright desert sun at White Sands washed it out a bit.
Add some black crap, and here's something more skid-like... my I317 (6-grain 38).

The next frame has the thrust curve (can you say "erosive"?).
Moving all the way up to the mighty 54mm... here's my J355 "Black Gold" motor...

Not many sparks in that frame, but it was nice and LOUD. A pleasant attribute at the cost of graphite nozzles!
