Last weekend was MDRA's Red Glare (regional High Power launch event), and it was amazing, lots of amazing flights.

Regrettably my family had some emergency medical issues pop up the week before Red Glare, and my project was unable to fly. The family is doing better now, but I missed my flight opportunity.

So here's the good/bad news: I'm moving! This means no more access to flying with the MDRA... Lame. But here's the good news portion: I'm moving to California within driving distance to the FAR site (Friends of Amateur Rocketry)

So while my projects are going to be on hold for a bit while I move and get my proper permits going, I will have access to a much better venue for further rocketry projects.

In the mean time, feel free to ask any questions!

We've successfully driven from Maryland to California.... What a trip... After I settle down into the new job and house I'll get back to work!
