Yah, when I flew we made some passes on the heading that were even with the bluffs and some passes on the heading that were past the bluffs.Art

If 35 degrees is truly the heading from the launch site, 4-5 miles would put the rocket south/south east of Squaw Rock on the Chalk Bluffs. Did you guys look up that way?Ken.

We’ll be in a red 1996 Toyota 4runner, and we’ll have a table setup in front of it. We will probably get there around 9 to try and get the rockets up early.

I drive a magnesium gray Element. How can we find you?

Alright, we’re all ready to go on November 3rd, I contacted Tim Thomas and have two H112Js ready to purchase at the launch. How can I find you, Bruce or Joe, at the launch?

Great! Thanks for the Heads Up on cert flights. Keep your eyes on the weather and let’s fly ’em early if we’re able. Fly early and often.

Kathy,My kids are 7 and 9 and they both enjoy building and flying. I think it is especially good for pre-teen daughters to get excited about science, engineering, handicrafts, etc.”Going beyond Estes” doesn’t necessarily have to include high power rockets…   Read more»

Outstanding! My son and youngest daughter will be glad to get on to bigger and better things! Thanks for the info!Kevin Osler

Kathy, you have definitely come to the right club! Your son will learn from the best, and we launch EVERYTHING, from A’s to O’s. He will definitely develop new insights and stay hooked on rocketry. Welcome!

As Tim said Welcome!!!There are several members of the club in your neck of the woods. Some are from Windsor as well as Ft Collins, Loveland and Wellington. All of which are quite close to your area to help out…   Read more»

8) QM, Hello and welcome! The season never ends, it just gets colder. You guys just missed the club Oktoberfest Launch. Truely one of the best launches I have been too. You would have seen Rocketry at its’ finest. But…   Read more»

thanks Joe No worries, but it is “John” 8)Regarding the plastic glove – you can just twist it and tape it off. The tubing has enough mass that you can pinch it with a zip tie, but the glove is…   Read more»
