Hey Warren,How about making a new thread for just this topic and copy what you guys have said over in to it?I would like to get in on the discussion and have some ideas and some offerings but don’t want…   Read more»

A few years ago I got it in my head that NCR was such a great club with such a great launch site that we should host LDRS. I brought it up at one of my first Executive Committee meetings…   Read more»

There wasn’t as much Mayhem on the ground, as there was in the air, and isn’t that the point of this event? It was my first, and I loved being there, and was able to coerce the fetching Mrs. Konshak…   Read more»

Listen, djsroc, what Scott said is right. This club is all about CERTS AND HAVING FUN FLYING! There are unsung heroes in the club, Joe being at the top, the rest clean our equipment, Art Hoag who is ALWAYS there…   Read more»

Ok I feel really bad about not gettin in any volunteering in. I got too involved trying to get my L1 flight in. Rushed like a mad man trying to get things prepped and of course failed. Lesson learned….BE PREPARED!!So…   Read more»

Honestly I thought that Saturday went pretty smooth. Yea there was a line, but it was MHM and if you have ever been to LDRS its like that to. The problem I saw was that most flyers had rods not…   Read more»

Yeah, I’m working on being a doctor. Something that has some resemblance to AA is probably mine.

If the unidentifiable LCO markings were from Saturday afternoon to evening, that would be either Adrian or myself. We both tended to have a typical engineer’s scrawl. No offense Adrian! 8)Ken (KF on LCO or RSO boxes)

Ohtay, I’ll get to posting in a bit. By rough count, 290 flights on Sat, 69 on Sunday. Lots of un-identifiable LCO markings, 7 or 8 Certs, including two L3’s – Jon Skuba and Cliff Hohenstein, a number of two’s…   Read more»

I also want to say a few more things. First of all, this is NO indictment on our Volunteer Coordinator, Ed Dawson. All one can do is ASK for volunteers, which he did. And, Warren Musselman, like Joe does, did…   Read more»

I thought it went well. There was more propellant cramed into a shorter period of time. There was a bit of a line Saterday, but it wasnt that bad.I was in it and I didnt mind! :)It seamed to me,…   Read more»

Lots of great feedback on how to improve a work in process. Unfortunately due to breezy weather, range set up was somewhat rushed Saturday morning and so a range map was not created letting folks know what was where. Then…   Read more»

Mike, I definitely lean in the direction you speak of. “You want to fly then you’re gonna work.” Up until a couple years ago, the completely lassaiz faire method of management worked just fine. It no longer does. Having a…   Read more»

Becky was very impressed at how well everything moved along and was managed, so the folks feeling the most stress are the ones that worked. Thanks to everyone who put in extra time so that others could play.If possible, the…   Read more»

Just want to say thanks to all the guys who ran the event so slackers like me could come out and just launch rockets. My family had a blast. The UFFO has been repaired and is ready for more flights…   Read more»

Ken, thanks for your yeoman’s job as pad manager on Saturday afternoon, and taking over LCO when I had to help with the family. Good idea about the launch rod cards.Another relatively simple improvement would be to make the card…   Read more»

Warren, I have an extra Beeline w/ radio you can borrow anytime you want. I have one set up on a small mount that makes it easy to work with….Greg

I have a bird set up for both the F and G in 24mm, but it has absolutely no room for tracking and now THE motors necessary to beat those records – the F32 and G55 – are out of…   Read more»

I think it would be very helpful for the PM job (and the RSO if he’s doing pad assignment as I did), to have some sort of identifier at the pads to tell what rod/rail is on each.Something like a…   Read more»
