Where did you get all that? 8)

I don’t know the specific species, just that most of the eastern plains including Pawnee were denuded during the Dust Bowl and a funny kind of curly grass was imported from Russia during the early 30’s. It was a WPA…   Read more»

Not at this time Dave. I’ve still got a couple K through N motors I plan on flying in my magazine, so until I burn up all that AP, I’m going to keep my birds fully flyable. Ask me again…   Read more»

The doohickey was a GPS tracker that a friend gave to me. He had thought his wife was cheating on him. she was, they are divorced no, so he gave it to me to see if I could use it…   Read more»

Warren,are you interested in selling a DC20?

Bear, what was that doohickey transmitter device you pulled out of your pocket at the NCR launch yesterday?

I’m with Edward – I won’t take them apart. I have 2 DC20 collars and all I’ve needed to do was put a 90 degree SMA feedthru to turn the antenna 90 degrees. it won’t fit 54mm though… Does great…   Read more»

I think the DC30 and DC40 would work better for smaller diameter rockets. I like the DC20 because it’s rugged and I don’t have to take it apart.Edward

I have retrieved several rockets that I would have had ABSOLUTELY no chance in finding without the doggie collar.Now I’m trying to put one in a 38mm tube. The on/off button broke, which seems to be a common malady, and…   Read more»

Try to stick with the Dog!I bought a transmitter a few years back before I knew what I was buying.($150) Mine actually transmits on the European band.Had a range of like 150 miles in the air. Some guys were using…   Read more»

The dog collars are great. I’ll never fly a bird bigger than 38mm without one again.

I haven’t used a cell phone, but the Garmin Astro setup is great. I flew my first L3 attempt w/o it and walked for nearly 45 miles to find it. I just had a falcon transmitter on it. The next…   Read more»

Sean,James is a great person to contact for those solids motors. I think the best way to learn is just to attend of the the mixing sessions and ask questions. I make those darned fart (hybrid) motors so there isn’t…   Read more»

Edward,I know several of us rather newbies are interested in research but it is rather hard to get into on your own without a mentor of sorts. Just throwing out an idea to maybe have an “intro to research” weekend…   Read more»

Joe,Here is the data for my flight on Sunday – MHM Day Three. Scientific Method, Research motor – Altitude was 9200′.Also, was I seriously the only research flight of MHM? 🙁 We seem to be a dwindling breed.Also, I have…   Read more»

Okay, finished logging the flight cards. Any mistakes are probably mine. If there are corrections or additions that need to be made (identify date and rocket name) send them to me off line at the club email.Praise and Thanksgiving to…   Read more»

Joe, I didn’t mark my flight card with altitude. My L3 went to 6525′. Looks like we had a good weekend of flights given the weather.

Wow, 6 L3s! Not bad for a weekend. Congrats everyone.

this trip I can leave the snow shovel home.

12,000′ last I checked. Static tests have always been allowed as fire conditions permit. Given the concrete pad and recent moisture, I would expect no issues.
