I was actually thinking you could build for 29 and use an adapter to size down to the 18 and 24 to utilize the possibilities. Not sure if that’s allowed – still waiting on rules.

Yes, the dry conditions may have a huge hand in the contest. Yes, I was planning on flying the same bird that I flew the L in.Hmmm, you know Mr. Billings, you have me thinking now, I might have to…   Read more»

Yes, our burn was last November but the Atlas site could accomodate an M shot, depending on how high it’s supposed to go and with advance notice so we can set back the parking area. Don’t jinx out the possibilities…   Read more»

Robbing from another thread – the weather may play a VERY heavy hand in the Alphabet contest. If we don’t fly in October, that will leave November for anyone wanting to do an M (the Atlas site won’t allow that)….   Read more»

If wants to chase now have at it. I did “A” thru “J” in one day last year, so am sure it can be done in 2 or 3 days. Is Bill Beggs coming up again You are right about…   Read more»

Here is the funny thing now… Someone else is going to fly all of them in two days and knock both of us out. Crap, what have we done, showing our soft sides like this! I bet that person is…   Read more»

Wow, so I was really nervous there for a few seconds and actually, I am going to show my hand here as well. I am planning an M1297W (5,417 newtons as best I can tell). I was nervous because I…   Read more»

Thanks Art! For being my 2nd TAP.The K650RR listed on the launch log is incorrect.The correct motor was an AMW K605RR.I was leading in total newton seconds after K. :DYour L2200MG (99.6% L motor) put you on top. :(Right now…   Read more»

Ok, so it was an L777WW, what K did you fly?

I will be your second TAP. I don’t have an N motor so it looks like it is either going to be a tie or one of us is going to be crashing a rocket, let’s hope it will be…   Read more»

ArtYou have a Challenger. :DI too have completed my L motor and am planning an M shot at O’Fest.This will be my L3 attempt as well as an Alpha Bet shot. 8)Wanna Drag Race?Not sure how the tie breaker works,…   Read more»

I am up to L but I have not flown the M yet. I have an M arranged for Oktoberfest but I am not sure if I will fly it ;)Just kidding, of course I will fly it! Keep me…   Read more»

Yeah, but I’ll have to get my Level 3 to get past L.K-bird is ready, and it can fly an L… but I’ll have to do my magic at the November launch. I’ll keep you honest, but probably won’t challenge…   Read more»

Ok guys, we have three launches left at the North Site this year. What’s the scoop with the Alphabet Contest? Who wants to challenge me? 😉 I know your out there Chad, I know you want the prize 🙂

I did, so did a few others. I went A through G back to A. My G flight separation at apogee. I’ll be back at it in April.Ron

So did anyone start climbing the ladder in February?Art

How about for the highest impulse total rule be changed to a combined highest impulse in each motor class used. That way if someone always flew 90% impulse motors A-M and someone flew 90% A-L and then an 80% M…   Read more»

I’m guilty of a tumble recovery, and I agree that in keeping with the idea behind the contest (reliability) this should be disqualified. Unless of course that’s the “designed” recovery method. The only other thing I would like to see…   Read more»

In the spirit of good competiton your proposed rule is a good suggestion but let’s leave that up to the decision of the flyer. There have been many times when flights were capable of Return to Flight status that did…   Read more»

Looks good, Joe – though I have a comment and a suggestion…First, to clarify things, the 3 Dogs Rocketry gift certificate is $300. That was what was in the kitty last year, and I am indeed rolling that over.My suggestion…   Read more»
