Pretty sure that’s a typo on Adrian’s part. The July launch is scheduled for Saturday, July 9th (commercial motors) and Sunday, July 10th (TRA Research) and yes, there are supposed to be “windows of opportunity” for higher shots than the…   Read more»

Prairie was nicely greening up – Prickly Pear’s ready to bloom in force. July weekend should be awesome! Camp out was my choice – nice to see the Milky Way – missed it at MHM.

FWIW,Understood that there may be a few larger campers on site and facilities may be available that way. Otherwise, Briggsdale is only a four mile ride away, not that there is much in Briggsdale.

Negative.

Okay, finished logging the flight cards. Any mistakes are probably mine. If there are corrections or additions that need to be made (identify date and rocket name) send them to me off line at the club email.Praise and Thanksgiving to…   Read more»

Atlas site for June launch is correct. Grazing issues and footprint impact from MHM big considerations – was discussed at January meeting and arranged accordingly. Windows available again for July North site launch.

I’ll recover your rocket from Nadine at the Hartsel launch. Pretty sure Michael Huber flew his MMM shot – too many flight cards to go thru right now to verify or post altitude.

I’ll be there!!!

Most excellant news! Thanks for the recon – see you Thursday.

Sorry, can’t manipulate the Jet Stream. Done everything I can to keep it moist and available for flights. Upper reaches are beyond my control.It’s a 5 nautical mile radius but that crosses property lines. Waiver protection only goes so far….   Read more»

Most excellant news!!!

Okay, as it stands: we’ll be gathering on Thursday, about two, to start setting the range, flight line, parking area, crash zone, et cetera. Help is appreciated and should be rewarded. Otherwise, we’ll finish establishing the launch site and areas…   Read more»

Range Boxes were all showing 12 plus two weeks ago – at least the ones we used. Fire Extinguishers have been re-filled and charged as of yesterday and squeezed back into the trailer. If necessary, we could re-charge boxes on…   Read more»

Set up time and drivers still to be determined. Thanks Mike – I’ll let you know. In fact, I’ll try and let everyone know what’s happening as soon as I have the necessary confirmations from the AHJ’s.

Until we hear otherwise, MHM is a GO. Hope to be setting the range on Thursday, with flights ready to go on Friday morning. Windows are still in negotiations and may not be determined until each day but are supposed…   Read more»

At this point in time, Motojoe/Giant Leap will not be carrying the Pro24 line. FWIW, I’ve been getting mine from Apogee and Wildman. If you are able to pickup from Apogee in Colorado Springs, you save on HAZMAT. I’m still…   Read more»

Explains why I get dizzy gazing off into space.

Can’t help but thinking of the Talking Heads – “Burning Down the House”.

Old school ovens for curing rockets were refrigerator boxes lined with aluminum foil and a few 100 watt light bulbs suspended inside. Properly sealed, you’d be amazed at the heat produced. Otherwise, Art had access to two large autoclaves but…   Read more»

Bear, We’re aiming for Range and Waiver ready at 9, so if you and the trailer can get there between eight and eight-thirty, we should be good to get set up in style. Thanks. Are you up for towing both…   Read more»
