Somebody needs to tell these guys about AltusMetrum, or for that matter any reasonably high frequency GPS logger. Has to be a way to certify and doesn’t require someone to stand in front of a flying guillotine.Neat stuff for sure.

That is crazy… if his thumb slips (or if he gets his right-left or up-down crossed up, as is so easy to do with RCs coming and going at you) – that thing would easily decapitate someone.I wonder when he…   Read more»

Joe,I have several birds I did not get up at Oktoberfest. I got one flight up Friday, was weathered out Saturday, and had to return moderately early Sunday — work on Monday…I am interested in a two day launch, but…   Read more»

Are you talking about a launch 89 years in the future? 😯

Thanks Adrian. Post registration wasn’t necessary but is appreciated. The weather really hurt turn out but that just means the next launch will be all the more busy. NCR remains healthy and mostly ready.

Ken is close to right on…. but I can’t say how close. Besides, it is something so different from your experience that just saying 99% L in an 54mm case doesn’t even come close to the reality. Just imagine an…   Read more»

There’s a nice photo of the FUTURE rocket on the front cover of Sport Rocketry mag this issue, I thought duplicating the two stage bird with O to N staging would be a neat project- But no plastic shields to…   Read more»

Until CTI lets the kitty out of the sack, I’m guessing they somehow squeezed a 99.99% L into a 54mm motor. I look forward to the specs!-Ken

Yes Derek, if you go to the video and look at the information under the video and click More Pictures and Info. Then scroll all the way down too “More of Dereks Rockets” and just browse away.

Have you guys looked at this guys rocketry resume?

Whose?Also John, Warren, and Adrian, tell us more about this project and “the motor”!! Pretty please?-Ken

Have you guys looked at this guys rocketry resume? He gas done so many big projects its crazy, he even worked with spaceship one. I’d think he could go higher then 120k.

Adrian, are we going to fly unLeashed? I need to bug Jeroen for the load… if he builds the motor, I’ll be there.

It would be great to send unLeashed up with you guys if Jeroen comes through with his special L. I’m also going to go for my L3 cert and if that works, try to raise the bar on the M…   Read more»

Believe it or not, I was just looking at UnLeashed the other day thinking it was time to do the strakes and start thinking about filling and wet sanding the whole thing. Hopefully, I’d be able to go to BALLS…   Read more»

I think 2012 Balls is going to have another strong Colorado showing. Sean, myself, James Russell, and Larry, among others, are planning the trip.
