Sorry didnt specify that. I need a animal motor works, or a purple woody.

What manufacture? I have an AT if you need one.Doug

Trust me, Art knows what he’s doing… I have an L3 to prove it. Conway and JamesR can help you with this. Tim Thomas, ourGLR rep, has 3′ e-matches you can buy and use. I asked the same questions. To…   Read more»

The easiest way to go about doing this is by simply installing two fairly heavy igniters wired in parallel into the motor. Your igniter is simply there to “ignite” the propellant, once lit, the core will pressurize itself. It is…   Read more»

South of the pads on the hill side between 2nd & 3rd knolls. For being there a year it looks to be in pretty good shape.I’ll pm my contact info.

That is great! I guess I will have to arrange some way to pick it up! You can private message me with a way to contact you.What direction from the launch site was it found? I have the nosecone. That…   Read more»

Found it. Everything except a nosecone, and or ebay if equipped

Welcome to NCR! Glad to see you up at Pawnee this weekend and I’m looking forward to see that Talon fly next month.

Still one more launch this year… even if there isn’t, any two or three NCR members could get together to fly. A G80 powered bird and it’s attendant weight and altitude possibilities mean no waiver required… A “coyote hunt” opportunity…   Read more»

So I take it no one grabbed some really low-hanging SSS fruit this weekend? Geesh, given the big $$ in the kittty, I can’t believe someone hasn’t flown a 4# rocket to 300′ to win it all!

Several folks have said that the lack of tracking basically leaves them cold and that is one of the reasons they never flew. They don’t like the idea of losing a rocket.WarrenI could sure go either way. It does add…   Read more»

Actually, the no tracking rule was designed to ADD participation. It was an attempt to level the playing field and bring more folks in. There are a lot of flyers w/o tracking and they wouldn’t / couldn’t play, because someone…   Read more»

I think for 2008 I’d like to drop the “No Tracking” rule. It makes little sense aside from making it harder to return ANY altitude. I believe it has done something to cut participation.Warren

Chances are you couldn’t.Which is why mine, along with a Perfectflite Alt15k, has been sitting out on the prairie for almost a year now undiscovered.

I’d love to do the SSS, but I’m stymied by the no-tracker requirement. Today I just lost a 38mm rocket (Blue Ninja) on an F, in almost zero wind, despite a day-glow pink parachute, because I didn’t fly it with…   Read more»

John now that you live so far away, how likely are you to enter the contest when you might have only one or two opportunities to fly? To be perfectly honest with you, I’d probably enter and fly again. I’ve…   Read more»

That is something I would seriously consider as a modification of the rules. Announce it and take money starting at the annual meeting – flights to be held at Oktoberfest… gives people 10 months to design and build and then…   Read more»

I’m curious why these wonderful contests don’t get much traction?or they wait for perfect conditions that never arriveI would like to see the contest to run for only MHM or Oktoberfest. John now that you live so far away, how…   Read more»
