This project has been on the bench for 3 or 4 years now and multiple TAPs have had their eyes on it over that time. Just never got around to finishing it for flight and actually scheduling the cert flight…   Read more»

John is one of my TAPS, and although I never got full commitment from a second TAP, I have spoken to James and Art about it in the past. How did you manage that Warren? Perhaps the rules have changed…   Read more»

We have something like 7 or 8 L3 attempts slated for O’Fest. Between the other M’s that have been talked about, we may have well over two dozen M flights + a couple of N shots. Hopefully Mother Nature dishes…   Read more»

Barring any serious problems, I plan on flying my L3 cert on Friday afternoon. Details are: M1419W motor, 5″ diam., 109″ tall, about 35#.John is one of my TAPS, and although I never got full commitment from a second TAP,…   Read more»

Regardless of the level of Certification attempt, I’d sure like to know about it and end up with the paperwork so everything/everyone’s gets sent in together. Yes, L2 tests for NAR and TRA can be administered on site. TRA members…   Read more»

David,The cleaning day will not be on the 29th of August. I’m thinking more like the week after Tripoli Colorado’s Fall Frenzy. So, it looks like either the morning of Sept 19th or 20th at my place, (south of Longmont)…   Read more»

Yeah! It’s like Mike Bennett’s Everclear research loads only blue. Very nice flight!

Are you talking the blue streak like this one. http://www.tripolicolorado.org/photos/2009_Fall_Frenzy/tcfallfrenzy09-007.jpg I236 blue streak.

Oh, the performance is more than similar. Better. I’m trying to remember the new CTI blues… they’re really cool! Or hot… ask Tim about those. Even though the blues are blue, they have a heap of thrust.
