I didn't think about sending this to you guys because there is no way I can get
product to you before the sale ends. However the only requirement is that you
pay for the product before 12/31/09. So if you want something let me know and we
can work out how to get payment made. I'm good for it as soon as I get back from
Hawaii on your guys money (wait, did I say that out loud?).   :-)

My stock is pretty full so if you want something let me know. If I don't have it
I can possibly get it from Chad or if I don't have anything you need you can
probably order direct from Chad as well.

I have a bunch of:
29mm AT
38mm AT
29mm and 38mm CTI
and a lower quantity of 54mm CTI. I think I may have 1 54mm AT reload left.

Jeff

*******************************************************
Here is the message from Chad:
Just finished unpacking a huge order from AT.

I have some of the AT for AMW reloads on hand. 54/2550 (K750W and K1750R) and
75/7600 (M1450W and M3500R) reloads are available. I also have a nice stock of
54mm AT reloads.

There are two new END BURNER reloads available now. The I49N-P (38/360) and the
I59N-P (38/480).

35% off - Aerotech Hobby Line Hardware, Reloads & Single Use Motors
25% off - Aerotech High Power Hardware & Reloads
20% off - CTI/ Pro-X Hardware & Reloads
(Must be paid for before the end of the year to qualify).

I agree Elvin. I would like to make another suggestion as well. I thought of this several days ago but haven't had much time to post on the group. As long as we are thinking about a memorial launch, I think it should include Linda as well. My appologies to Elvin for not thinking of this sooner. A combined memorial launch for Linda and Nancy.
Is that ok with you Elvin? This would give plenty of time for special projects to be flown in memorial to these two fine ladies.

Reinier,

I only had the pleasure of meeting you and your wife one time but I could tell
she enjoyed being there with you. I am so sorry that this happened. I have no
idea how I would make things work without my wife.

You are always welcome at AARG and if you need a place to stay just let me know.

Thanks for posting this.

Jeff

Dear Club members,

As you might have noticed I have not attended the last few launches. Nancy has been too sick to travel lately and after another 3 weeks stay in the hostipal we decided to bring her home for the last time. She passed away only 3 days later.

I will miss my launch partner very much. She loved to travel to fly rockets. And was the one that supported me to get into this wonderful sport.

Now almost 3 weeks later I hope the see you all soon again. I might even say "Hi" at AARG. But i definately want to be at the next WTR launch and start my L3 build that I had to stop for a while.

Thankyou to all of you who was so kind to her and made her feel so welcome.

  If Asa's getting anything like the pounding Austin is getting, there's no way there can be a launch tomorrow.

  Thanks for considering a launch the Saturday and Sunday after Thanksgiving.  That might be a good break from company.

  Based on the weather forcast for the area, it does show a rain out, however, depends on the amount that we actually get.  Tomorrow afternoon (unless it is a total wash) I will go to the field and put a foot in the mud, I mean dirt and let everyone know if it is a GO OR NO GO.

  We will definitely try again for Sat & Sun, Nov. 28-29.

Just saw this this morning.
54/1280 case - I have nothing for that one.
54/1706 case - I have the K185 but I'm pretty sure I do not have the correct
forward closure for it. That is a shippable part so it won't be a big deal to
get the correct one to you quickly. Had you given me some notice I would have
had it on hand ready to go.
