Once upon a time, on a launch site not too far from here, I can still remember living vicariously thru the exploits of Art. I helped provide incentive where little was needed and propellant when it couldn’t be had. Lots…   Read more»

Let’s see now – that will be three years in back dues, plus initiation fee and a round of cold ones for everyone that remembers you. And you’ll need to re-certify with NCR, starting with 1/4 A’s.

I’d be going out on a limb here but I’d guess primarily due to the cost and time committment necesary to make the day/event happen without the burnout factor for over committed volunteers. These sorts of outreach projects are huge…   Read more»

Wait a minute, some of us are still here and still planning on Mayhem!!!

Keep dancing – shimmy shimmy cocoa bop! Please Don’t let the rain Stop! Make it Rain all day and then some more – soak the Pawnee prairie to the core.

I went out to the launch site last Friday. The prairie is dry but starting to show signs of greening. A very little bit of moisture has been making an appearance and IF the weather patterns hold for this week,…   Read more»

missed a step there Scott; got to have a Mwauh-haha in the chorus.FWIW, most of the moisture in this gathering seems to be reluctant to cross the I-25 line. But every little bit helps. If the prairie could just start…   Read more»

This is gonna be an abnormal summer. Please, keep doing the rain dance. Seems as if our flying season is already over and it hasn’t even started. The greater Western States need significant moisture – every inch counts. MHM is…   Read more»

Called in the waiver this morning after speaking with Jon Halverson at the USFS. We are still GO but proceeding with caution and still subject to a possible cancelation based on the advisory postings from the National Weather Service, common…   Read more»

Actually, YES, a Port-a Potty has been ordered up for the weekend. There have been several different groups expressing interest in attending, including Scouts from Littleton, TARC attempters from Wyoming, and student groups from Golden. With anticipating a larger than…   Read more»

Probably got you covered – depends on how many boxes you want… LOL

The intent was to take advantage of the weekend for Tripoli members wanting to fly Research loads on Sunday. Saturday is for Commercial motors and a launch day for NAR and TRA members. Sunday was scheduled as a TRA Research…   Read more»

Rolling on Thursday! 😀

I’ll just say that this is supposed to be a fun contest; there’s a rather significant difference in 5280 feet and 30 thousand feet – we’re talking a G motor here – and the Jolly Logic/Altimeter One should be considered…   Read more»

Actually nine players – Mark Stumbaugh paid his entry fee but has yet to fly anything contest related.

Well, I’d go ahead and do that if I were you.Lots of folks out there that will take you up on this challenge Adrian. And for what it’s worth, there’s rarely much of a wait on the away pads Warren….   Read more»
