Welcome. I think you’ll find that NCR will meet your high power and NAR contesting needs, plus you’ll meet a lot of great rocketeers that are very helpful.

Welcome,The bug will get you if you hang around here much. The big ones just start calling your name….. I’m hoping to have a SSS too, see you there….

Thanks everyone, looking forward to meeting you later this month.I updated the URL above so it links properly now as well.

Don’t avoid checking out Tripoli in preference to NAR… There are lots of larger motors going on as NCR is largely a high power club except for the kids… Feel free to email me or anyone else and folks will…   Read more»

Welcome! We fly EVERYTHING, so you’ve come to the right club. We have a number of photographers in the club. Nadine Kinney, a professional photog–you’ve had to have seen her work, comes to each of our two biggest launches. Ray…   Read more»

Greetings and salutations. Whenever you’re ready to try your hand at certification, there are lots of NAR members in NCR (Section 565) ready to help. And I know the editors/publishers of all of the Rocketry magazines are always looking for…   Read more»

Welcome to the club. I like retro rockets and love your build of the Curious Rocket. Look forward to meeting you at Oktoberfest.

You trying Wickham’s AN motors? Never tried those but they sounded neat!Edward

Thanks. I will try.

Thanks, Warren. I look forward to flying a Parrot together with a GPS unit to the highest possible altitude.

That’s going to be one thing that sets your altimeters apart from the run of the mill Adrian. At this point I’m past wanting to fly your altimeter with another altimeter – I want to fly it with a GPS…   Read more»

Fascinating. I thought I read on some sites that they were. The Parrot altimeters are all definitely individually calibrated against a NIST-traceable standard. At two temperatures.

The only point I would make is that as far as I know, no manufacturer does individual unit calibration on altimeters. I’ve spoken to one manufacturer who I know pretty well on a face to face basis and I know…   Read more»

Maybe I need to get on the listserver, because the following is just pure B.S.:The newer MPX2102 actually has no cliff in lower pressure, but the relative error at low pressure increases dramatically (per the data sheet) … since a…   Read more»
