I hope y'all on the East Coast can make it to NYPOWER over the Fourth of July weekend. Plenty of hybrid GSE will be available. Our friends from the Skybusters club will be there, and if it's anything like previous years, they will be happily lobbing LOC Magnums with HyperTEK K250s. Love that combination.
We're trying something new to handle N2O supplies: you buy a "fill stamp" for the motor you're flying, and stick it on the flight card. MARS has finalized the prices and I've put the stamps into my ecommerce web site for pre-orders. There's a substantial discount for ordering before the launch. We'll see how this works; it's a start at using some of the "lessons learned" from LDRS. I'm very hopeful.
I will definitely have a Contrail motor to show, and I hope to fly it; I've got an L1222 Sparky on the way, and am finishing off a fiberglass
6-inch diameter Tomahawk (what else?) to fly it in. Two coats of paint are on the beast and the motor mount and engine retention are done. Next is the electronics bay (G-Wiz Deluxe 800, with G-Wiz Standard for backup apogee deployment, plus one of Ivan's new high data rate CANSATs to return some serious data and act as RDF). This is the Performance Rocketry Tomahawk, and that fin can is gorgeous...I can't wait to see this thing on the rail. This year, by jingo, I'm gonna fly something instead of admiring everyone else's flights!
