I’m Winning!! 🙂 Now if every one else will trip and fall on the way to the tower or forget one of thier O-rings and thier Motors blow up or if there is just a “Cold Day In Hell” Ill…   Read more»

Maybe if you allow more than one shot, you increase the entry fee each time. First shot $20.00 second $30.00 and so on. How many took a shot last year any way. Ill be entering may dart for at least…   Read more»

Guys, I’m good with whatever y’all decide. I’ll be there at MHM and would love to give my 20$ to someone 🙂 This will be nearly impossible to sort in this forum, though.If there is one thing I want to…   Read more»

For the SSS, the Roadrunner G80 is a good contest motor. It supports an alternative manufacturer and a local vendor, and it has pretty different characteristics from a typical altitude motor.For the SSSS, maybe we could do something to support…   Read more»

I guess I must have been asleep during that part of the meeting or at another meeting…….. But I dont recall hearing multiple shots with different rockets and different fees. I agree completely with JW on that not being a…   Read more»

If we want to maximize the prize pot, then $20 per entry, unlimited entries (including the same rocket), would enable a leapfrogging duel. But it might reduce the number of people would would be motivated to do it. It would…   Read more»

Again, I want to be responsive to the consensus of the membership.I don’t like the idea of impulse range instead of a specific motor. The use of a specific motor places everyone on the same level and is, I think,…   Read more»

If we were going to allow any G motor for the SSS, then someone could get on the club record board, win a Parrot altimeter, and win the SSS with one mostly-subsonic, long-burning shot.Using the Roadrunner G80 keeps it as…   Read more»

It IS an altitude contest – without question. The rest of the rules just make things harder and more constrained.Yes, but Warren it sounds like from the first post that these constraints are becoming less and less? Like John, I…   Read more»

I’m open to whatever the consensus is.No consensus was reached on the issue of impulse range vs. specific motor. No one has ever entered more than once. LOTS of people didn’t fly because of the rule against tracking devices and…   Read more»

Finally, as Doug will attest – when it is no longer a “single” shot event, then anyone traveling any distance is placed at a huge disadvantage. Were it a single flight, some of us would show up and go for…   Read more»

My brains must have been somewhere else or I must have misunderstood this when we discussed it — I’m personally not in the “multiple rockets” corner. As noted, it raises lots of enforceability issues on what constitutes a “different” rocket….   Read more»

The rule for 2007, decided on with you, was multiple entries were allowed but a completely different rocket was required for each entry and a new entry fee for each. We haven’t had to deal with that as hardly anyone…   Read more»

OK, I wasn’t at the meeting (being geographically challenged) and hopefully this sort of debate occured at the meeting… but for my part, I’m not too keen on the “multiple rockets” thing. If I change a noseccone, is that a…   Read more»

What ever happened to the idea of not just using one manufacture and narrowing it down to a range of total impulse from a given motor class.That way people could design around different motors but still get or try to…   Read more»

No motor was decided upon leaving me to feel that the AT J350 would continue as the motor. Personallly I was thinking that it should be the K185… it’s still an L2 motor after all.The kitty has been rolled forward…   Read more»

I haven’t done it, but a SU composite booster should light a BP sustainer, but not the other way around.But, can you get them without a delay?I supose with a reloadable you could leave the delay element out and put…   Read more»

Ok so I couldnt help it! I missed the March launch.So I added a fifth stage. A 4 “D” cluster on the bottom.1 D12-0 in the middle to light the second single “D” stage.And 3 D12-3s in pods on the…   Read more»
