I agree with the suggestions to slow down a bit and enjoy flying.Thanks to Many, I have learned to slow down a bit. Joe H. hasprobably been the most helpful in that department.I only get to a few NCR launches…   Read more»

Oh, fine, Doug, like he wants NASA quality movies of his L3 flight.

Well. well, well… I just happen to have an Intimidator 5 sitting out in the garage… as well as a G3 and extra 4′ 3″ airframe. Great choice, Mike. I took a PR Competitor 5 kit, had new fins made,…   Read more»

I’ll look at adding ballast (would sand be a good choice? lead shot? 10 Big Macs?) to the nose cone to see if I can get below 12K.

How about adding a functional payload like a camera? Doug

The first launch at the North site usually happens in April, that is what you should probably plan for if you want to do your L3 right away. You definitely have a great deal of knowledge that you can apply…   Read more»

Thanks for the comments and the encouragementIf “Keeping M’s under 12K” is not a problem, then I won’t rush out and buy another box of “fat” rocket parts. I have the equivalent of a Performance Rocketry Intimidator 5 coming in…   Read more»

A 20K waiver is a lot. It took me FOUR times to recover cleanly over 20K (though I am 4-for-4 since ;-)NCR is blessed to have many capable TAPs. It would be my honor to help out if necessary– though…   Read more»

Mike, we’re usually out at the North site at the April launch. Get your TAPs together before you start building the L3 rocket. They need to sign off on it as you go along. It’s not like the other two…   Read more»

By the way, the 12th is this Saturday – the menu is barbecue beef and pork, beans and potato salad.Warren

NCR is lucky to have one of the top 10 launch sites in the US. Certainly there are 3 or 4, maybe 5 clubs with higher waivers than our Pawnee North Site – Kloudbusters in Kansas, the Amarillo boys, Arizona…   Read more»

I’ll bring two or three copies to the Ault meeting. The more TAPs on the team the merrier.I’ll be testing a slightly different configuration of my “High Powered Rocket GPS Post-Flight Recovery System” now that I have more room in…   Read more»

You need two TAPs and once again, I highly recommend you take your time and get some building and flight experience on a variety of L2 level rockets before trying for you L3. Art Hoag, James Russell, Conway Stevens, Alan…   Read more»

Thanks guys. The whole hope is to be vending by MHM. So far things look good.Loki is a great product. They have one of the best comercial blue motors you will see. Very heavy into performance. The loki long burn/moonburn…   Read more»
