Gents, I posted links to photos that are held for free at Imageshack. This shouldn’t take up space on our forum. This is how every other forum has their image linking set up.

The web truly offers an infinite bounty Joe… the site probably could do with some simplification to make some of the articles easier to find. Hopefully Steve will provide.

Well silly me – there already is a Forum FAQ which helps direct us on how and what to do regarding the use of these forums.

And here I thought cyber space was infinite. What I meant is that somewhere there ought to be “Sticky” post or information page for Forum Rules, including the posting of links/photos. Some Forums will accept attachments, others allow direct…   Read more»

Well Joe, since I don’t use those services myself, I’m not the best person to write that up. I would suggest Mike Shinn or Ray LaPanse as they are the most prolific photographers and documenters of our launches.My main point…   Read more»

Maybe simple instructions or FAQ answers as to how to do so is necessary for those of us that don’t totally understand what you’re suggesting….

Since we haven’t worked out all the webmaster transition details, I thought I’d add a thought here.IF you directly embed pictures into a posting, please limit the image size to 640×480 pixels maximum – otherwise is totally screws up the…   Read more»

For helping recovering rockets, I find that if I stand at or near the trailer, have the compass on my phone set up, watch the launch, and watch where the bird is last seen, (if I can see it), find…   Read more»

Just goes to show ya, even a bad day (far from it) launching rockets is better than a day at work. For what it’s worth, weather forecasters were spot on with predicted conditions for the day. It did get cold…   Read more»

Looks like I missed a great time. From down here in the big city, weather didn’t look good up north, so I went to work instead. Great pictures.

Great photos! I’m thrilled to have the input and basically agree with the launch procedure you are suggesting. However, I’m guessing the cold helped speed things along and as the weather gets nicer, the crowd gets larger, the wait gets…   Read more»

In future events, would it be possible to coordinate things a little better?Each and every rocket that is launched is expensive in either time or money. I observed today that everyone watching a launch was intently looking for the parachute…   Read more»

Most of my pictures did not turn out, but it was a learning process on how to photograph high velocity rockets.Today’s event was my first for NCR and my wife and I fell in love with it. Even my little…   Read more»

Two sequentially launched rockets. Closest to 10,000 feet combined. A nominal fee per chance, half proceeds go to NCR.Rough idea…

I’ve seen Ken do this twice now. Ken has successfully de-mystified vacuum bagging. I am ready to give it a go!Thanks Ken and Larry.

Thanks, greg for a clean & professional presentation. Now we just have to invent something so we can do it again- too much fun, great bunch of guys. And thanks, everybody for coming. If anyone missed it and wants us…   Read more»

Great presentation. I was with James Russell, Scott Evans, and Steve Mashburn that day. Being the sorry limitations of being human, I could only be in one place and not two. I really appreciate the slides, the video, and NCR…   Read more»

Wow! I wasn’t there but didn’t miss a thing with this excellant presentation. Well, actually, I missed the comraderie.I knew there were some pretty sharp folks in this club of ours – time to step it up and pass the…   Read more»
