Good call Joe! The news is disappointing but not suprising. I am sure this decision will put a feather in NCR’s cap as far as the NFS and surounding ranchers are concerned. With the biggest fire season on record we…   Read more»

I’m sure you can still camp out there, just no rockets.

Good point, Edward 🙂

Hmmm….I may actually do just that!

Joe was just relaying information.It takes a government…Oh well, I was looking forward to camping at the northern site.Just kinda pouting at the moment.

The surest way to guarantee wind is to have a launch, the surest way to have rain is to cancel one. Can’t have it both ways.Edward

I understand Steven. It rained pretty good this afternoon in Fort Collins and Wellington. Rained all of last night in Wellington. Street flooding in Fort Collins this afternoon. Over the sidewalks at Drake and LeMay. I was dancing as hard…   Read more»

Mike – if it’s a go – I can help with set up on Thursday PM,, I’ll be there Friday through part of Sunday, but, alas, must work on Monday.

Probably will know for sure by Oktober 1pm.

We have had so many cancellations this year, that Joe needs to send out an email when it may become possible for us to launch once again.If Oktoberfest is a possible go, then I need to finally get my rockets…   Read more»

John W. went camping at the north site this last weekend and said everything was green and beaustiful up there. I presume that would help make it a go for O-fest. It probably would not hurt to have more rain…   Read more»

One thing I’ve done in almost all my dual altimeter birds is to build a common power bus (usually two or more 9V batteries in parallel) and to tie the grounds from both altimeters together. I don’t use a common…   Read more»

When I flew I had everything shielded, and wrapped the ejection charge wires in aluminum foil. I would do this before you drop the altimeter – backups are good to have.Edward
