Bailing on NSL

In addition to owing many blog updates I've just decided to bail on NSL.  Both would seem to underscore my recent lack of blog worthiness.

Today I was planning to fly an Aerotech M4500 Super Thunder (98/7680 casing) in the Madcow 8" Mega Cowabunga.  That would have been a new thrust maximum for me but, after a lengthy but cool day at work yesterday, I went to bed having forgotten to bond the grains.  I also just discovered that my Raven LiPo batteries are bloating and will no longer charge.  As such this exciting new thrust maximum will have to wait.

I went to FeatherweightAltimeters.com to order replacement batteries and discovered the Raven4.  I bought one also. :)

Thanks for occasionally checking in and I expect to rebuild my rocketry prowess in the coming weeks and months.

Holtville launch, May 4, 2019

I promise to catch up on blogging soon.  For now just some hot, CTI K1200 action:

Holtville launch, April 6, 2019

Once again I'll write more later but yesterday's launch was a good time:

Holtville Havoc 3

I'll write this up soon but thanks to Mark Treseder for this excellent shot:

Rain... and rain again? [...and again]

I attended the January launch at Holtville... but was rained out!  It rained quite persistently and for a substantial duration.  As such I didn't fly anything.

It seems that rain might be pending for February as well so we'll see.

Update: The February 2019 launch was cancelled due to rain.  We'll try again next month.
