Thanks, Warren, for accepting the correction of this misunderstanding with such grace. No hard feeling here.

Well then Adrian, I owe you an even larger apology. From early discussions you and I had when you were developing the Parrot, I got the impression you were working to come up with a better model (given the limits…   Read more»

Apology accepted, Warren. I know you have been doing your best on this and your heart is in the right place. There is one assertion that you are making that is incorrect, however, that I think has been at the…   Read more»

Oh yeah, THE #1 thing I’d love to see is a “Like” button on forum posts.

I must stand up here and make a “Mea Culpa” style apology – in particular to Adrian, but to the all the other “altitude junkies”.For years, there was very little choice in altimeters – Adept, Olsen, Perfectflight, Missileworks and a…   Read more»

I’m reposting what I wrote on another thread, with minor mods, because it’s relevant here and it might have been missed before:Different people get hooked on rocketry for different reasons. For me, the idea of flying a rocket higher than…   Read more»

Nobody spends hundred or thousands of dollars building a highly technical rocket unless they are trying to set some type of record! Sorry to disagree with you but this statement is completely wrong and shows how media influences perceptions. It…   Read more»

Altitude records:”In the case of the altitude records section, that was predominantly the folks who thought of themselves as altitude junkies – myself, John Wilke, Jon Skuba, as well as with input from a wide range of other club members…   Read more»

I have been following what Warren has recommended about tracking all IP address of those who request membership. The two that I did reject had rather suspicious names like “undertheladder” and were outside of the USA. If they were honestly…   Read more»

Yeah, I agree with you Adrian. However, the company lawyer I talked to was a conservative type. He was clearly of the opinion that as this was “hobby” stuff, we had no need to be concerned. After I explained to…   Read more»

I deal with ITAR issues all the time at work, because all specific technical information about spacecraft designs are covered. I’m not a lawyer, but I’m pretty sure that there’s nothing we’re discussing on this forum that is covered by…   Read more»

There are, believe it or not, a number of issues in our hobby that skirt the edges of ITAR restrictions that the US government has in place. These are very serious laws and not subject to court oversight but purely…   Read more»

Just a quick, off the cuff response and please note – I’m not a computer tech geek savey individual. I have to believe that the reasons a few specific ISP’s have been denied access, stems not from whether they are…   Read more»

Hi Steve,Looks like you are doing a great job with assuming the Webmaster tasks that Warren had done so admirably for so long.I’ve been in the club just a few years and am quite happy with the variety of members…   Read more»

Woohoo!

My wife and I are there!

Way cool!

Way cool!

Wait until my wife gets her “actual size” Mini-Maxx Crayon rocket ready for our next event. You will fully understand how diverse NCR can actually be.Of course, I still have to figure out how to make an adapter that will…   Read more»

Those really are great photos, and it reminds me of the benefit of this club, we shoot anything rocket regardless of impulse! No one else, that I know of, does that, at least not in Co.
