Hi Folks,
This is a reminder, this Saturday May 11th, we will all meet at Rob's house!
As Rob said, the address is:
Rob Gong
2502 19th Ave
Kingsburg Ca 93631
559 393-2399 <(559)%20393-2399>
So, Saturday March 11th at 9am we will meet there and get the gear ready
for
our launch (the following weekend). We should be done by 3PM or so.
High Level Plan
- Overhaul all of the launch leads (new Gator clips, leads, etc)
- Test launch system, charge batteries
- Service any pads, clean all rails, update with Chris Atteberry's
stand-offs
- Eat a great lunch (Mike will send details but we'll be very WELL fed)
- Go through tool-boxes, all items in trailer, organize
- Fix dollys (need to fill tires with foam again)
- Check PA, make sure all is well with fuses and our PA system
- Service Generator
I'm hoping if we have 10-15 people we can get through most of the work
in the morning, eat lunch and then hang out, do show and tell, build
stuff, etc.
Things to Bring
- Alumibrite
- Foam for Tires
- White Vinegar
- Towels
- Gloves
- Pressure Washer
Note: We may make a trip to Harbor Freight or local HW store to get things
if needed.
Things I Will Bring
- Soldering iron/flux/solder
- Connectors
- Wire
- Blowtorch
- Electrical connectors, wire & rework tools
Things still Needed
- Someone to haul Trailer
- Volunteer to help with Soldering

Checklist is below. Aaron, hope you can make it and also get us
some alumibrite :-)
Thank you everyone!!!

CHECKLIST
/* snip */
Trailer
- Empty out, sweep, use compressed air to clean it
- Open up all tables and put boxes on it
- Open boxes and make sure all is sorted properly and matches label
- Clean out trash
- Take out launch system
- Wire all launch system - check batteries and relay
Launch Gear
- The Portapotties - James will have them cleaned, not needed this year.
- The tires on the carts & dollys need to be patched, inflated, and foamed
- Pack Everything in the right box
- Put back in Trailer
Launch Rods/Rails
- All of the rods, pads and rails need to have a bath in :
#1 - White Vinegar - scrub as needed with a scrub-brush
#2 - Alumibrite - spray on, let it sit
#3 - pressure wash (2000 psi or more)
Follow up with grease/WD40 for all threads/rods/fittings, etc
This one takes the most time and where we can really use all the extra
help - anyone who has seen our hardware knows we like everything
squeaky clean.
Launch system
- We need to charge all the batteries.
- We will review the Igniter leads, replace all of the
- ones which are bad.
