I work weekends. 4 10s…friday through monday

Sounds like a plan, although I vastly prefer the 38mm H123 to the H180. The longer burn is nice, and the wider and shorter case is easier to clean. Either one will be nice. Will you be at the November…   Read more»

Anyone know how to reach Bob?JS

I remember seeing the motor casing in the fin can and what was left of the airframe (about 10 or so inches of it).Ken.

If my memory serves we well, Bob Messner was the finder and I’m sure he’ll turn it over to owner at request. Sunday became a blurr and a hurry up let’s get out of here weather wise day so folks…   Read more»

I saw the fin can, but never saw a motor casing. The remains were pretty shot except for the can itself. I believe we even paged Chris up to the LCO table, but I left and never saw what happened…   Read more»

Nope – I too heard about it, but nothing further.I’d love to see the case in it, for a couple of reasons. One, that was my case, and if it is salvageable, I’ll take the forward closure (it’s plugged) and…   Read more»

John, that was me. I don’t remember who actually found it, but I think Chris L. was able get it from the guy that found it.Ken P.

exactly why i posted the question, my understanding was 75 percent for research, which given the waiver and 25k BoD needs creates a paradox. No research flight can exceed 22.5 in which case you don’t need TRA BoD approval for…   Read more»

and that goes for commercial or research motors:9.9.1 The maximum launch altitude of a research flight shall be 75% of the waiver altitude established for the launch.9.9.1.1 The BOD may waive this requirement when it can be demonstrated (by past…   Read more»

If I read your question correctly – NO. ANY flight, research or commercial that is going above the 25 K needs approval. The maximum launch altitude of a research flight shall be 75% of the waiver altitude established for the…   Read more»

James,Understand and I don’t want to push things by applying for a flight that may create some tension. So I’m gonna fly commercial motors in mid-life crisis to just as high as I can w/o breaking waiver. And use a…   Read more»

Things are in the works but it is not for sure. NCR needs to get there wavier in place for the next year and then once dates are set for events that will require or may require the 30K window…   Read more»
