Adrian, I’m afraid I’m going to have to agree with James and Doug on this. TRA is just not going to accept your record attempts unless you’re using someone else’s altimeter. If you were flying a Missileworks, Adept, or Perfectflight,…   Read more»

The Parrot would not exist if I had not designed it for setting records with my own rockets.Adrian, there lies in the nature of the skepticism. I don’t fly altitude attempts but I have been around the rocket community for…   Read more»

BTW, I am not one that is competing for altitude and have nothing to loose from your record being submitted or not and I have nothing to gain if you do not submit it. I just did not think it…   Read more»

The Parrot would not exist if I had not designed it for setting records with my own rockets. If I were to make an extra-low-drag nosecone for my own rocketry project, would I not be allowed to use it? How…   Read more»

James,I’ll be happy to send the altimeter that sent the record to anyone that can calibrate it against a NIST-referenced standard. I have such a calibrated reference, and this morning, I verified that the calibration of the Parrot I used…   Read more»

Adrian, two concerns, you are the designer and programmer of the device, sending a file or posting your charts do not allow someone to verify your altitude. I am not questioning your honesty but I am questioning your participation.For club…   Read more»

Did anyone get slipstick III’s launch? Another rocket was launched accidently at the same time on Friday.

Wonderful, I can’t wait!Will these be posted on Neuroticape.com?

I’m hoping to have mine finished up and posted this weekend.

Mike,I saw someone in the distance due East of the pads. Was that you? Chad now believes, (based on an impressive use of balloon sounding data) that my rocket should have landed 2300′ E and 7200′ N of the launch…   Read more»

Mike,Thanks for bringing the rocket by and dropping it off on that car hood (yours?) where I could find it. Hope you weren’t put off by the fact that we parked further North up the road to be a little…   Read more»

I could not figure out how to make a mark on the map… A little further east of our turn off is a ranch house on the southside of the road.Draw a line from that house to the road at…   Read more»

If that is a 24mm rocket (hard to tell?) and if it was calm (I wasn’t there) and if it landed 3 miles away? Then that was a MONSTER boost, record or not!The picture is of a 24mm booster, built…   Read more»

Sweet!That’s my booster that I flew as a single stage on Sunday after my sustainer failed to ignite on Saturday. It looks like the altimeter and transmitter broke off or something, though. 🙁 But i think I threaded them onto…   Read more»
