Given the weather didn't really cooperate for Oktoberfest's Research day,I am trying to get an idea if there is enough interest among members to add a Research launch on Sunday, November 8th - weather pending, of course. Chime in here or send me a PM, or call me on my electronic leash 303 859-9728. Thanks
Would it be at the North or Atlas site?

Well, probably the North site since I'm still expecting us to be there for the Saturday launch. Depends on the USFS but so far they've been really good about our advanced scheduling.
I would make a couple sugar motors for testing.
I would like to fly at one, maybe two EX flights this November, weather permitting of course.
You bet. I've been wondering how I could fit in two 15+kft altitude shots and help my daughter with her scratch 2-stage LPR rocket, and this would really help. Weather permitting, of course. 2 days would help with the weather too; there's a pretty good chance that at least one of the two days would be flyable.

I'd be interested, weather permitting and I can find a case for some Elvis Fries...
I am very interested in doing a research launch.

What are the specs? I haven't seen a sugar motor in a while. They are great!

Thats where I need help, and am very new at sugar, and
do not test thrust. Yet.
They are 1" PVC. Probably (I know probably & rocketry
do not mix) Probably in the 'H' range. ???
I was going to ground test. But... I do have one rocket
with electronic deply that will take a PVC motor. May
fly it. ???
All My previous tests have gone perfect.
I think Jeremiah and I could both be ready by then. I'm hoping to stick some grains in the test stand this weekend...... That's all we had left to do.
I've made some PVC motors before....they were fun and very easy to make. I then switched to Purple Woody 38mm cases. Somewhere I bought a lathe and then it all went out the window 🙂 Last year I did the a&n numbers on KNO3 and sorbitol. I also did an aerospike sugar motor along with it. This year I'm going to get my rod and tube motor back working, starting at 54mm and then up to 75mm.
I'll have a hybrid if anyone wants to fly saturday or sunday, sunday I have a grain that I want to try out.
All right! Whos the ney sayer in the group!
I have the tar! We need feathers. 😉
Hey Ken, I'll have the 1400 ns case with me if you want to fly that load....
