Welcome! See you February 2nd, the annual Colorado Rocketry dinner is coming up soon as well.Art

Scott, right now it takes a fission reaction to make a hydrogen fusion reaction. We can hold our breathes until then..

It looks to me as if that this is not in effect until 3 items happen… A definition as to the “threshold percentage for ammonium nitrate in a substance.”, the proposed rule implementing this action and the final rule implementing…   Read more»

What about cold packs? You know, those packs you buy at the drugstore and snap to make them cold? It’s just ammonium nitrate and water, and a resulting natural endothermic reaction. So, those would be illegal to possess? Well, it…   Read more»

Just goes to show ‘ya, when the Gov’t decides to act after the fact, it only takes ’em about twelve years. Now if they would also regulate Ryder trucks and diesel fuel, maybe the threat would be diminshed enough for…   Read more»

Well some more info down the pipline. Looks like this was actually started and backed by the largest manufactures in the industry.It’s not about security, It has nothing to do with that. It all about limiting the liability of the…   Read more»

So our government is trying to keep this stuff from the bad guys or so they say. I guess they still haven’t quite figured out that when those people that are willing to break the law to begin with, by…   Read more»

so that’s what paranoia looks like when it becomes law….

I always knew bullshit was the best fertilizer.

This is big especially for those folks that do ANCP propellant. You will now have to register it looks like and basically creating a new permit for just that. This doesnt only effect rocketry but lots of stuff. This could…   Read more»

Thanks, Warren – I seem to have miscalculated a wee bit 😯 and I may need to get creative in my drogue compartment. That, or I may just hang it out an inch or two (really). Won’t be pretty, but…   Read more»

Yes John, I have one. Planning on flying on it Friday or Saturday at MHM, but you’re certainly welcome to it otherwise.Warren

Sounds great. Thanks!

Yes, we will be bringing the larger tower as well as the “bicycle tower” that’s usually in the trailer.We will be able to accomodate your 54mm bird.Ed

Will there be a tower at MHM this year to fly a 54mm? -Sean

Partly because I wanted to be able to do some small-motor testing of altitude birds near home, and partly because I had an idea and wanted to see if it would work, I built my own tower this weekend.It has…   Read more»

Of course it matters and Tim has said he’d bring the tower for the April launch. It’s a done deal. Relax, load a motor and get ready to punch holes in the sky.

If this matters Ill need a tower for 3″ rocket

From the perspective of the executive committee, it didn’t even get discussed at the last meeting. IF Tim brings one to the launch as he’s offered and people fly off it and like it, we’ll buy it.Warren
