OK,,, I put my foot in it now. One of the guys I know at the gym happens to be the principal at Beattie Elementary here in Fort Collins. Several months ago I mentioned our club and rocketry in genera...

As always, Mike - great shots - (in both senses - rocketry and photography/videography). Really appreciate you taking the time to take the photos and post.

Steve, yep,,, NAR. Although I have 'dual citizenship' for now, I'm using the NAR channels to do the L2 cert. I'll be torching a Cesaroni J210 (classic) motor (54 mm/ 2gr) - a smallish J (836 N-s) for...

I'm available to tow this coming weekend (both ways),,, but also need a 'second' for my potential L2 cert. attempt -- I think Joe has my motor, I have the paperwork, still need to pass the written (Sa...

You can do an awful lot of great DD practice with I motors, that way it isn't new when you do your L2. OR, what I did was build a 4" rocket that can fly either way. I certed on a J350 with motor eje...

Thanks to all for taking the time to respond -- think I will try Plan B,,, although there is a lot of wisdom in what Ken says,, but that "within visible altitude" line keeps getting lower as I get old...

Plan A - Ambitious plan to build a dual-deploy bird specifically for certifying L2 (kit build, PML Eclipse). Gathered all the parts and pieces,, started asking questions, reading, scanning the forums,...

Mike - can share the towing (going or coming) if you want. Otherwise, I'll see you out there early to help with set up.

Thanks for posting, Mike - all the rocket stuff is cool,,, but the panoramic of the flight line (MHM, I assume) is pretty impressive, too 😮

Thanks to Bear's most excellent instructions (and Google Maps/Earth) - I'm confident I can get the trailer out to the site on Saturday (8 AM early enough?). Depending on my stamina (and wifey's patien...

I'm now equipped with a tow package w/ 2" ball on my pickup,, so would be glad to do it,,, but having never done it before, I'd need instructions on location, keys, passwords, secret handshakes, and t...

Can't add anything to what Bear says and I'm certainly no expert, but have an example of how 'not simple' it can get. I built a little Estes kit with 'enhancements' - shock cord upgrade, reinforced pa...

My day job requires that I keep abreast of GHG issues,,, and nitrous is a powerful GHG - with a global warming potential 310 x that of carbon dioxide. A contributing factor is its persistence in the a...

Brad - yeppers. The official announcement can be found as a News Item on the Home Page.

Mike - if it's a go - I can help with set up on Thursday PM,, I'll be there Friday through part of Sunday, but, alas, must work on Monday.
