The weather is looking good for this Saturday's launch.

There are still a few slots open on the sign up sheet . This sheet now has its own link under the User Menu along the left column but in case you missed it in the headline banner, here's your chance.

I'll do RSO from 1PM to 2PM.
Tried to sign up on the sign up page but it would not save it.

I got you in there, Tony. It seems to be working for me.

Had some fun with tiny 808 video cameras, including putting a couple on three flights:
LOC Viper 4x D15 (twice)
and a
Applewhite 38mm Stealth saucer on AT F40
Now we know why on board video on rocket saucers really hasn't become popular...

Bill,
Thank you for clarifying.

Every motor on that list either:
> has impulse above 80N
> or are Sparkies
> or are Hybrids

This is good news.
There are several full G motors (that are not on that list) that can be flown at an LP launch.
Among the Cesaroni motors that includes the:
29mm 3grain G54 Red longburn
(Strong initial thrust with a long nearly 3 sec burn, bright red flame, seems more powerful than it is, $22 from AMW, I have two of those loads, a very sweet moonburner motor!)
and several 38mm 1grain G engines
