There has been 1 attempt, but there is a bug in the contest code on the site that I haven’t gotten around to resolving yet. There has also been 1 flight on the Super SSS with the J350. Expect several…   Read more»

Warren,Interesting point Ken brings up. Are boosted darts OK for the SSC or SSSC?

Ken,The only one I am aware of is Bob Messner’s shot to just under 5K. I think it’s in the launch logs for Friday of Octoberfest. I don’t know how many entries there are. Perhaps Warren can reply when he…   Read more»

OK, looked at the rules again. Scratch the annoying sonic beeper idea. How about a small tracking smoke charge to burn on the way down?-Ken

Well, another shock to the day. Even though I was made the raffle coordinator this year, you can bet it was Patty picking the tickets and making sure prizes were given away. Tirelessly. And with weather threatening this last cleaning…   Read more»

I, like many, have taken much for granted. We have a lot of excellent volunteers — Dale and Patty are right at the top of the list. Our prefect and prez does an incredible, tireless job as well……….

Yes, truly a golden opportunity. Particularly when you describe how much fun it is.But, seriously;Dale & Patty you both have been FANTASTIC! – And I’m sure that the entire membership would agree.Personally, I very much appreciate all the hard work…   Read more»

my hyperloc 835 had no instructions either, thats what pisses me off i like a little method to the madness, usually first thing you do is get the motor mount in, make sure you have a eyelet to hook the…   Read more»

Thanks for your kind words, Warren.I spent nearly an hour out past the fence looking for it without any luck. I’m not one to hesitate at the sight of a little barbed wire! Somebody’s big HPR bird came down in…   Read more»

Geof, while walking onto private land is theoretically an issue, we have never been dinged for crossing fence lines. Almost 100% of the land adjacent to the launch site is also BLM land. Feel free to cross fences and walk…   Read more»

One of the biggest things ive always liked about this hobby is that. But that good will and tradition must go on. Its what makes us and our hobby so special. The more we pay forward the better.. So Get…   Read more»

Well, there’s always Quickburst…Hard to get right now, but I have a stash that you can borrow one from if you want…

Tim, I’ll have to see what the wind’s like and how ballsy I am. It sims to 3000 (I know… not much to the HPR guys), but I don’t want to be buying you 3 new cases when I lose…   Read more»

😯 😯 😯 8OTim,Hold those cases! I think those F39s want to be stuffed into a stubby Pink rocket! :PLet me run a sim to see if it’s happy, but shouldn’t be a problem.See you Saturday!-Ken

Ken, I have several SU E motors (E30 &E15) that will fit. The E30 have quite a lot more pop than those E-9 you used last week. And if you want to be a wildman I am holding a few…   Read more»

I use http://www.noaa.gov – same site but enter Carr also. It should all be within a Gelfand.Edward

Try this one. Seems to be pretty good most of the time. Just click on the map where for the area you want a forecast of.http://www.crh.noaa.gov/den/Ken.

For a variety of unfortunate reasons, I will be unable to go to BALLS as planned and although I plan on attending Oktoberfest and doing at least 1 LCO and 1 RSO stint, I may not fly anything at all……   Read more»

I still have no idea what I’m flying. But I do know I’m flying something.D2
