I would love too, not to mention one of the reasons I got into PPG was to look for lost rockets. I however am going on vacation..to of all places Iowa for a visit with the sister-in-law for a week and...

Congratulations! And I thought I went for a long hike. You and John must be beat. Wow, that heading is a lot farther North than was thinking. This puts a new spin on things for where I think I shou...

Great. Thanks.

That's a beautiful map. Where did it come from? Now I know where that nonexistant, mystery road in Google maps came from: the jeep track that was visible when the USGS created this topo, probably dec...

All joking aside, here's the related part of the landowner map that Mike Konshack helpfully put together last year. Let's all respect the private property and see what we can do to improve relations ...

(50's announcer voice)When the wind blows from the Southwest and your rocket is about to fly high...Beware! Strange disappearances have been reported in this seemingly tranquil corner of the prairie....

I think the GPS is closer. Baro altimeters using the standard atmosphere model will under-report the actual altitude when the weather warms up. It wasn't that hot this weekend, but it was still warm...

I owe the SSS pot $20. I must be a glutton for punishment, because I already dreamed up a new and improved version of the SSS rocket. Actually, the dreaming up part is easy and fun. The building and...

If you guys are thinking about going out again while the transmitter is still running, the bluffs would make an excellent location for the radio scan. The one that's the 2nd from the right in the pic...

Recovered without a scratch, near where Ed's rocket came down. More details and data later. Based on a transmitter signal that came on 14.5 minutes after launch and went away about a minute after that...

The email address to sign up for volunteering is: volunteer@ncrocketry.org Thanks!

Thanks, Murkdock. You can fill a Pad Manager slot. Basically, the way this works is that when the LCO is working the launch control system and the PA, and the RSO is at the front of the line of rock...

If the volunteer calendar is up-to-date, only 9 out of 30 launch duty slots have volunteers for Saturday and Sunday. Monday and Friday are even thinner. Please check the calendar and sign up for a sl...

So what happens if your static hole port is larger than the calculated size. I made mine larger than the calculated value to allow access to the arming switch.... so I'm trying to understand what happ...
