I agree, and if I were to guess, I would say Friday afternoon I will be able to do some work, as well as possibly Saturday afternoon. I just don't want to promise when I might not be free at exactly t...

I agree. I think the "Range RSO" position could be filled by the LCO reasonably well though, with the "Rocket RSO" position as separate. That would only require 3 simultaneous positions to be filled,...

I'm not convinced that it's unrealistic - as I said, if there were a separate RSO table, the RSO could inspect each rocket as the flyer is filling out a flight card. Two RSOs can easily handle an LDRS...

What do you mean by "we are both"? Do you mean that we are both LCO and RSO? If so, that shouldn't be the case at the larger launches (Mayhem, Oktoberfest). I know that it sometimes is the case at our...

I disagree. The RSO's primary job is to inspect the rockets prior to flight, and ensure the rocket and motor combination selected is likely to have a safe flight. The LCO is more in control of the ran...

As for RSO, it would be nice if this year we had the RSO set up with the flight cards in a tent slightly distanced from the pad lines (as is often done at large events), as in the past, it has been ea...

I'd be happy to LCO or RSO some as needed, but I can't promise a specific time (my first priority is my L3 and a couple of alphabet flights, but after that I'll be free to LCO). As for RSO, it would b...

Thanks Scott. I have not laughed so hard in a while. Hey Joe, what size motor should I put in this one? ......just give me the biggest one that will fit! That's what it all about, eh? Yep. You'll se...

I don't see an atmospheric pressure term. It's just a basic form of the rocket equation. (For that matter, it doesn't even appear to have a gravity or drag term)

that is a fantastic plot! If its not too much trouble can you post instructions on how you accomplished the download from the dc30 to google earth? I have a dc-20 and would love to do the same thing b...

That's kind of a hard price to justify when Wildman has them for $50 each (and GLR has them for $55).

Heh. You can race ahead - I'm thinking K by the end of Mayhem (unless we have bad weather on one or two of the days). I'll cover L and M over the summer, and N at Oktoberfest, assuming all goes well. ...

Winning Moter "O" "P" or "Q" 😯 This could get expensive. 😯Could come down to Bank Roll. 😉 I'm thinking that I'll go to N. If someone wants to fly an O (Art?), they're welcome to - that's gett...

While we're at it - I need a CTI 4 grain 98mm case for MHM... preferably before so I can pre-assemble the motor. Anyone? Warren I have one, but I'll be using it (for my L3) Saturday morning. You can b...

I'm still lurking in the back of the pack, and the real dark horse, Art, has yet to even start his schooling. PS, schooling started and well on it's way! 😉 Art Oh, you just wait 😀
