Hi Becky,

I'm sure you're very busy getting ready for Arliss. Thanks for reaching out to John Lyngdal to help me with the altimeters. I'm sure he can help me out on the playa.

I did reach out to Steve Wigfield to try and get some info on how he had the aft parachutes setup for the rocket but he couldn't remember and suggested I reach out to Jim. Everything looks to be in good order but I will need a hand on the final setup before the trial launch to make sure everything comes out smooth. The payload/nose cone setup looks pretty straight forward, I'm trying to remember what you suggested for a mock payload subject? 

Anyway, I have an AT L1520 ready to go for the trial launch. I attached a photo of the aft parachutes and harnesses if you or Jim have any insight. Otherwise I look forward to seeing you on Sunday evening.

Thanks,

Paul

A lot of people use a couple of water bottles with parachutes tied to them for a mock payload. The payload should add up to around 2.2 lbs.

If there’s going to be a group prep for this flight, the DAWGpack would like to sit in, watch, and take notes.

Bob, I think it might be similar to the rockets you fly. Many eyes will be helpful.
