Yes, place an order. I’m expecting a large CTI order shortly that hopefully will include several of these Anniversary gift packages and some green motors and spacers and lots of the other popular loads. Contact me thru the Giant Leap…   Read more»

Bummer is, this Special got announced just after Giant Leap’s most recent order was placed so I’m not sure if we’ll see any until next order. For anyone just getting in to the hobby, this is a great opportunity to…   Read more»

Meeting scheduled for Thursday to sign official paperwork enabling NCR to resume flight operations. Details to follow but anticipate a great day at the Atlas site. Really looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

Bring it to the launch and I’ll pick it up for Warren. I’ll be seeing him before he’ll get to your wife’s shop. We’re supposed to be crossing paths like on Tuesday or Wednesday the 4th or 5th.

The loaner case I know about is the 75/6400 – already loaned to Bill Mott and Chris you requested it for LDRS, as I recall. I don’t think I had another but I’ll check again.

Tripoli Colorado launch schedule was worked out at their meeting yesterday. Flying on Sundays, TRA Research rules, except for their two day events -Spring Fling and Fall Fest – with commercial motors on Saturday, Research rules on Sunday. Add these…   Read more»

I don’t fish – fly, ice or otherwise – but I can’t think of too many other places I’d rather participate in or just sit and watch a “Cast and Blast” event. You’re on to something there John.

If we knew what we were doing, they wouldn’t call it Research. Plan ahead – Add two more dates to the TRA Research launch date possibilities. Final draft of the Permit Application was adjusted to include Sunday, April 11th as…   Read more»

Yes to both questions. If enough interest is there, additional Research days could conceivably be added. A lot will depend on the final draft of the “Standards for Operations Recreation Event Pawnee National Grassland”.Tripoli Colorado should be setting their calendar…   Read more»

And I thought I was a semantic warrior. Mister Wilke raises an interesting aspect of Rule Making and Breaking. The process was to make the rules straight forward and simple enough that the contest was fun, regardless of personal interpretations….   Read more»

Rules need to be explicit whichever way they bend. Seems as if each and every contest is different enough to warrant specific and explicit options/rules for the contest to be properly administered. If there are two or more NCR member…   Read more»

Both of the Triple Shot Sweepstakes contests are still without any posted rules that everyone is supposed to follow. A Fixed weight is a good suggestion. Is that for a payload or the entire rocket? Motor weight will vary, even…   Read more»

I was actually thinking you could build for 29 and use an adapter to size down to the 18 and 24 to utilize the possibilities. Not sure if that’s allowed – still waiting on rules.

Yes, our burn was last November but the Atlas site could accomodate an M shot, depending on how high it’s supposed to go and with advance notice so we can set back the parking area. Don’t jinx out the possibilities…   Read more»

In the spirit of good competiton your proposed rule is a good suggestion but let’s leave that up to the decision of the flyer. There have been many times when flights were capable of Return to Flight status that did…   Read more»

I’d be happy to write the bad check from a closed out of state bank. But if we go one a beer run, it would have to be Lite beer.

Cubbies – probably meet at six to coordinate spiels – Pledge of Allegiance at 6:30ish. We’re talking rocketry, big and small – we fly them all!

Yes, the rumor mill is busy again but this time pretty substantial truth coming our way. I’m looking for something like the old G55’s and full F’s for SuperRoc Altitude shots.

Before you let the dog run away, test your set up in a controlled dog yard and make sure the electronics are working correctly. T’would be the real shame to let a purebred loose without assurrance you could track her…   Read more»

A few Club members have some of the Astro trackers – not a club owned asset yet.
