Yea, Sorry Bruce, my adhd must be kicking in, and seems like the egg loft keeps getting overlooked cuz we might be flying this other contest, so the two keep getting intertwined in my mind. For those of you who…   Read more»

This is a forum, you mean we’re actually supposed to stay on topic

Guys, the Warp 9 egg loft has its own forum. What does this have to do with the NAR event NCR is hosting in June? You’re killing me here! 🙂 Focus, focus, focus…

I’ll be in, and I have a couple of potential designs that are easily in the 100g range. 200 gees is possible, though expensive (my only 200g design involves a J1299 and 6 H999’s, which at 1800lbs average thrust is…   Read more»

Chris,We both saw the solution to this from the beginning. I think thats cool and we should get brownie or boy scout points for this.Your point about ave acceleration is well taken, it has to be even higher at some…   Read more»

Couple seperate subjects: re the Eggs, it is doable, as I have argued from the beginning. But whether mother nature or the best thru-hole electronics balks first might be the best question. I seriously doubt any egg can survive a…   Read more»

I’d choose B with the addition of the E BG. I’ve not flown one that big. :)Bruce Markalewski brought us all cleaner bags when he introduced us to the wide world of flexi gliders. Now that was a fun learning…   Read more»

I have to agree on that. I have looked into some designs, and I think I have what I want to do picked out. It should be pretty fun, and the E BG’s have some real potential with the E6…   Read more»

Chris, John, I agree. But remember I (and Russ) just recommended events. I didn’t say they couldn’t be different: Look at these carefully, offer changes… Personally, one of the few events I wanted to participate in was the E BG….   Read more»

Well, I don’t see E BG anywhere in those – Nate’ll be disappointed (as will I)Other than that, I like option B.

if you think C parachute duration is a kid event, just wait til you see the crazy stuff they can drag out. 3 to 4′ mylar parachutes in a rocket the size of an alpha.Sorry! It’s not a kid event,…   Read more»

While you can’t use fiberglass tubes, you CAN glass paper tubes.a totally kid NAR event.First you can use fiberglass tubes. It’s just the ones that are worth a hoot are a booger to make. Maybe someone wants to pay Kevin…   Read more»

You gotta love composites… 10x the work of a cardboard rocket.Warren

Well, the NCR folks will see it polished and painted before anyone else :)It should be all nice and pretty by the flight at Mayhem. With any luck, the paint won’t be scratched up for its LDRS flight :DThanks though…   Read more»

Thank you very much Chris… I stand re-educated.I must say, you are one impressive teenager. I’m still very impressed with the Deuce on two J800’s… such a pretty launch and perfect flight. Get that thing polished and painted and fly…   Read more»

Checked out CRASH’s discussion on NCR’s NAR event. The E booster glider seems to be getting a good response. But the G Super-Roc seems to be getting a bad response because of safety. Does anyone agree or disagree with this?…   Read more»
