New Guy Input:Club records should be held by club members. If you are not a NCR member and want to make a record attempt at our launches, then join the club! $25 isn’t to much to ask if you want…   Read more»

I suppose a record on a small motor set at the Bear Creeek on theo and recognized by NAR or same at Pueblo, CS, and flown by an NCR member would count in my book.

Friends, Just to clarify, our standing waiver at the North site is 20,000′ AGL, not 25,000 (yet) and we have not received confirmation of our requested windows to 35,000′ AGL for MHM and OF (yet). Plan accordingly and please, reasearch…   Read more»

“come on in the waters fine” gets me feeling nostalgic and amped up about doing so high flying stuff. There are at least five people who could take essentially any one of the records – I mean that utterly sincerely….   Read more»

John, I totally understand the $$$ of the issue.. hell just spent close to 1,100 on my last flight for motor and case and it was a baby N. I would venture to say as I do have some other…   Read more»

Thus the reason I stated it may pertain and I might be wrong. I will let those like Warren who has the contest management position make the final rule. But I’m pretty sure that by the rules they have a…   Read more»

So John as im sure you are planning, but when do you think about maybe attempting the N record for yourself… Im thinking about doing something with the M and N myself as well… maybe a little freindly and fun…   Read more»

I’ve have it in personal correspondence from Pat Gordzelik that Research flights are supposedly limited to 75% of the waiver. That means predicted altitude. You won’t get in trouble if you fly over that amount unless you actually break the…   Read more»

I don’t believe that is the case with commercial. The rule for research is because research motors aren’t always quite as reliable and consistent with the thrust curves, and in some cases, an exact thrust curve is not even known,…   Read more»

Warren, please note (unless you have thought of this already) that the FULL waiver is not attainable for flight. I do believe that by most or some rules that you are allowed to only fly to a specific percentage of…   Read more»

I guess in the end here, I should be clear and say this…A) NCR Club altitude records SHOULD be flown at NCR launch sites.B) In exceptional cases (extreme waivers, etc.), club members can take credit for a serious altitude record…   Read more»

Perhaps two classes of records? or open up a hybrids, staged, EX, etc. section in the records section?Good input, good points, no argument from me (so long as you don’t bogart both of those F32s 😉 )I Like these suggestions…   Read more»

Just to be clear, I’m not talking about disqualifing any existing altitude records that were flown elsewhere in the past, however, given our much improved waiver situation at the North Site, I am inclined to think that it should be…   Read more»

Since the N-site and Hartsel are so different in terms of elevation, temp, barometric pressure, etc., how about having two club altitude records. One for Hartsel, one for the N site. That way the differences between the sites and the…   Read more»

My two cents is that is should be an NCR site webpage and NCR site records.Like Warren I could see it both ways, but I like the teasing and taunting between you guys.National organizations like NAR and Tripoli have their…   Read more»

I don’t in any way want to DQ your existing flights John. You earned them and the rules allowed for them and they are completely valid. That said, I think if you do the research you will find that the…   Read more»

At risk of starting an argument with my good friend John Wilke which I certainly don’t want to do, I’m going to weigh in with the following statement.Warren, I genuinely appreciate your comments and certainly don’t take them as anything…   Read more»

I go back and forth on a lot of the issues that have been raised by this. At risk of starting an argument with my good friend John Wilke which I certainly don’t want to do, I’m going to weigh…   Read more»

Ahhhhh yesss. This is what I was hoping to finally get back into. Been a few years since dualling with JW for Altitude shots.. Especially the K motor stuff. lol. Anyhow, here is what I belive. An altitude attempt must…   Read more»

That’s a good point John, and in light of it, I retract my opinion that it should be at a club site. I guess I’ll just have to keep track of you all making your record breaking attempts so I…   Read more»
