Doh! 😯

I’ll just attach you name to the return field;-)

My guess is that we could leave a note in their mailbox for an invite.If you do, make sure it is “by the mailbox”, not “in”. I believe that’s a felony if you’re not the postman or the owner of…   Read more»

Nathan was helpful to Mike S. and me during a long search for a 5,000 foot flight. He is the young guy from the ranch to the due east of the site.He seemed rather interested and helpful, once he understood…   Read more»

I’d love to get that and integrate that into this map if possible.Edward

I have already done that for about five miles around the north site, if that is of any value to you. I have been desiring to invite the land owners to a launch and a bar-b-que or dinner on one…   Read more»

Outlining the parcels that different owners have, with contact information.Edward

Edward, I may be dense, or just confused. What do you mean by “outlining the owners?”

That is good to know. Of course you are aware that there are lots of other ways to get to the Atlas Site, for the March launch, which will be the last time we are at the Atlas Site until…   Read more»

In other words, the motor and delay element both start burning at the same time. Blow thru often occurs when the delay element is not tightly sealed against the ignition source and then the powder lights pre-maturely. Sometimes, too powerful…   Read more»

I saw your question and went to the rocketry forum for an answer. (www.rocketryforum.com) The answer is for APCP motors and not black powder motors. Aerotech and CTI manufacture their motors this way. The delay grain, for setting length of…   Read more»
