TRF’s cato screwed everybody. It will be a long time before the site is anywhere near what it was. ALL history was lost. Everyone’s post count (including our very own Chris (CJL) ) started back at zero.The loss of all…   Read more»

Yep, that explains it. I guess I’ll start over. Thx.

Well, depending on when the last time you visited TRF was, it is possible that when the whole site crashed around just before Christmas, you got lost in cyber space and now need to completely re-register/join again. TRF had a…   Read more»

So to update this. To date I have not seen anyone else in on this comp.Pete – Reanna’s rocket had power failure on the altimeter.Re-Pete – mine went to 2007′ as witnessed by several people – it’s in another thread…   Read more»

Well, Pete and RePete are mostly figured out and 75% done. I’m building two with Reanna.She is driving me nuts with energy, I have to do a little every night to keep her happy. I had to order the chutes…   Read more»

Bummer….. Will still be good for my Daughter to learn this.No worries, she’ll just have to open up a can of whoop ars on the adults :PThanks for the PM Warren.Greg

It is NOT just for kids.W

I’m thinking the process is going to be as fun as the flights. We are going to measure everything out, design it and input it into Rock-sim first. She will do most of the work and input. She is pretty…   Read more»

So what are you calling the D12 rocket comp? Is it only for kids?I’m heading over the HT to get some BTs and nose cones for my 10 yr old to build today. It seems to me that if this…   Read more»

Any other stipulations Ken?Why a D and not E? Just curious….

For the “low and slow”, we decided at the meeting for a $5 entry fee and a 24mm Estes D-12 motor.Ken

Ouch, sorry to hear about the layoff. I’m up to a 36% pay cut as of this check. But, it’s still a check…. 😯

My apologies to all – I have been very remiss in maintaining the website of late. Life and all just has to take precedence. I expect things to change soon as I will be getting laid off at the end…   Read more»

Much appreciated Joe. I hope John will be at the next Launch. Did you guys ever decide on the E9 slow and low idea? I thought that was pretty exciting. My Girls would love to do that one. I didn’t…   Read more»

Well, I don’t think the rules have changed, just the motors to be used. 2009 SSS was to be flown on the Road Runner F60 and the Super SSS on an Aerotech I600. And maybe you read about the Up…   Read more»
