We will not be having a July launch due to the Burn Ban that is in place in New Berlin. We will hold the event at the Aug. launch instead.

At least there's rain in the forecast for Saturday, that helps ease the pain.

WOOSH is getting back into rocket launching gradually, as we have has a little rain but the field still has a lot of tinder. So we launched "rockets of known stability" at the sod field yesterday, and the kitbash triathlon is now scheduled for the September launch.

With things looking good for the Triathlon I have decided to build up my rocket. Here it is minus a few "special" game day secret weapons



The QCC upscale Solar Warrrior.

Must be nerves

The idea just came to me so I went with it. I think I will send a pic to Estes. The Solar Warrior was one of my favorite kits way back when. I would like to see it come back.


I hope the glue does not take in to much moisture before the event and weigh it down
