I have bought a couple of Alpha III’s and I am going to get my 11 year old grandson to build one in my presence so I can get an idea of how this will go. Then I will have…   Read more»

Our school launched at Robby Ferrifino Park (Arvada City Park) several times now. I had to contact the city, who didn’t know their were codes, talked with the Fire Marshall, (who had to get back to me after he looked…   Read more»

My own opinion is that the law enforcement officer (LEO) will not know the codes. He will know that fireworks are illegal and so if you allow him to take that position, you have lost your argument. You have to…   Read more»

The one day build thing is a good idea. We could actually run in parallel if we wanted to. As kids finish their rockets, they could drive right over to the launch and fly em. My daughter and I could…   Read more»

Dave and Kevin, and anybody else who wants to be inovlved: If we could build the rockets in 2 hours, (say everybody gets to buy an Estes Alpha III, and three motors, say an A8-3, B6-4, and a C6-5; could…   Read more»

Updates on dates! I talked with Hobby Lobby and the manager is all for it, but the weekend I want to do it, April 28, is already scheduled with a Bob Ross painting class. They have the 1st weekend in…   Read more»

I asked the question about internet connections at the Cheyenne event. I haven’t heard back yet.I like the idea of having a Release of Liability on this. Thanks for going in that direction Bear.

I’ll take on the Powerpoint, but i need way more pictures and video’s. I have videos of my own H through K stuff flying, but the video quality is real bad on most of them. (smartphone cam).Wish I had the…   Read more»

Thanks guys! Sure could use at least one more person to volunteer to assist in the Fort Collins campaign and any of the others also. Of course the more the merrier! I will start working on a retail sponsor on…   Read more»

My first thought is the Friday night might be hard to pull off because it is the end of the week, people want to chill or go out, fixing dinner for the kids, etc. Seems to me you might only…   Read more»
