…and if you were smart, you’d join Tripoli and cert with them. NAR is dying… at least as far as HPR is concerned. Their official comments on the proposed FAA rule changes for waivers shows that NAR has absolutely no…   Read more»

I would think that the email reply from NAR would be enough, but it’s really up to Joe I believe. Don’t forget your L1 paperwork.See ya Saturday.Ken.

I do have an email reply from NAR from my aplication.I will print it and bring it.They said two weeks on the paper work in the mail, butI will call to see if there is a number yet.Scotte

Xman (Ken), if he joined NAR and doesn’t have his number yet, can’t he still certify? Scott, do you have a receipt of some sort? And as Ken said, make sure you download the L1/L2 form. Joe Hinton is our…   Read more»

Scott, you will need to download the L1 certification form from the NAR website. As it generally takes a couple of weeks to get a NAR card in the mail, you should call them to see if they have assigned…   Read more»

Thanks for the info. Superior Community Park might be ok, but one scout almost lost a rocket there when he and his dad went out. It went close to the canal enclosure/toward street. Still looking for a more open area….   Read more»

Try not to launch from Boulder County Open Space as there is a hefty fine involved if and when caught. High School athletic fields are generally large enough to accomodate up to C powered rockets, if you take the wind…   Read more»

The kids won’t be with me tomorrow, so I’ll have some time aside from chasing down an F record attempt. I’d go for some LCO duty, but I’ve been having too much fun with LPR and MPR to get around…   Read more»

Thanks to Ken P. and Mike B. the launch is a go (from the trailer perspective)!

Ed, I sent you an email via the web site stating I would tow it back on Sunday Nov. 4th.

That is why I prefer the AT motor reloads over CTI for piston rockets.The CTI’s have very powerfull ejection charges, sometimes too muchfor small Dia. piston rockets. I have learned to mount the piston upside down from the instructions.Thanks again…   Read more»

You shouldn’t have a hard time with that.Your thinking was correct on the longer motors though – use plenty of dog barf, and just don’t overdo it on the charge (which is good advice regardless with a piston). I’ve had…   Read more»

Thanks for the info.I have plenty of room for longer cases.My thinking was that the ejection charge would be better to occur in the motor tube than the body tube. I will use plenty of dog barf to protectthe shock…   Read more»

Use a J825R Honestly though, as Ken said, the motor tube length is largely irrelevant to the length of the motor you can use. Go right ahead and pick whatever motor you want to use. It should work fine regardless.

As long as you’ve still got sufficient room for the recovery system, the longer motors should be no problem. There’s plenty of support in 14″ of motor mount tubing. Heck, longer motors help move the CG forward, too. (unless you’re…   Read more»

Edward will be there.. So no worries. Got an email from him late last night. His data is working and we should be good. But thanks a ton Mike for the offer… anyhow Its 54mm and possibly a 75mm.

Need to find a test stand for a motor firing if possible. I will check to see if Edward is coming out But also would like to static fire my Green. Not necessarily needing to get Pressure and Thrust (even…   Read more»

I just got home from Utah, I will be out around 9 or 10 in the morning. Sunday as well.

Same here. We will be out early Sunday Morning. So far I have a couple K motors to burn up of my Loudmouth blue. If only someone had a 75mm powered project they wanted to fly…. tsk tsk….But we will…   Read more»

Man I wish I could be out Saturday night but I can’t. I will be out early Sunday morning. Looking forward to seeing Dragons Breath.
