While I’ve only been with the club going on three years, last year’s MHM…[Read more]

For your continued map playing fun, here is yet another source for areal maps. We use Terraserver for our work and found the pictures to be much clearer than the others. I think this link will work. The big diagonal…   Read more»

Yes, I’d be happy to do that too, if there were a place to put that information. It took me a minute to realize that I don’t need to fly a GPS for this to work, just carry one when…   Read more»

I’m all over that. I carry a GPS when I go out so I can find my way back to the launch site :-O and I would gladly log that info on the flight card as well.JW

I like that idea Ed… I’m going to talk to Jeremiah about adding Lat/Long fields to the launch log flight records. Like altitude, they’ll only work if people report them on the flight card, but the idea has merit.Warren

I think it would also be nice to have people GPS waypoint the landing points of their rockets. This coupled with weight, diameter and motor information could give us a good trend on where rockets are landing. I know at…   Read more»

At the very top of the lower picture is an east-west road leading to a windmill on the right side. Our launch site starts just on the north side of that road and the launch table generally sits 100 to…   Read more»

It’s a great map, but the launch site is a fuz north of the 1/2 mile ring. Comparing to my topo, the launch site is almost due west of where GR640 runs east/west (between 2 1/2 and 3 on Mike’s…   Read more»

It’d be nice to have on hand when birds fly away. This is great.

No worries – very much appreciate the effort you put into just finding out what was public and what was private. Thank you Mike…Warren

Mike, that is an AWESOME tool! The moral of the story is to drift north (but not too far?)James – the name of the rancher you shared with me? Does this jive with where your rocket landed? I was not…   Read more»

NCR’s site is mismarked on this map though. The pads are located just south of the 1 mile ring by a couple hundred yards.I think you are right. It should be 1-1/2 squares) up from CR122 (horizintal green line). That…   Read more»

Well seeing that map, I know I’ve trespassed at least once chasing someone else’s K250 shot.NCR’s site is mismarked on this map though. The pads are located just south of the 1 mile ring by a couple hundred yards.Warren

That’s a good plan. How about those wire flags (flourescant) used to mark underground cable and fence lines? You can get a bundle of 50 for about $10. They stick up aboout 2 feet. Folks can take a couple from…   Read more»

Last launch I was out looking for a rocket and Jon Skuba’s landed about 10′ from me over the fence to the north. Since the wind was blowing it around I picked it up and brought it back. It would…   Read more»
