Scott, take a Midol. Mike, thank you for your kind words but check your math. 2 K’s, depending on the K’s, added together might still equal a K. Typically, regardless of the number of motors, it’s still one flight….   Read more»

Everyone needs to keep their panties from getting bunched up. All good points of discussion. From a hysterical perspective, I mean historical, when PHITS and TRM were flying, the bent of competition developed between who was flying the highest or…   Read more»

Clusters and staged flights are credited to the largest motor used, not the total number of motors used or the total weight of propellant. Trying to enter more than one motor per flight creates other data entry headaches. Our databases…   Read more»

What if the rocket used for the G shot also had to be the same rocket used for the J shot and you got to combine altitudes for a grand total? Two shots at one prize.

Keeping the motor to G’s or under allows EVERYONE a chance to play if they desire to do so. I’d prefer a closing date for entry – single shot – pay in and take your chances – closed to all…   Read more»

Change of plans – Forever Ugly will go on a J275 instead.

If everything goes according to plan, Forever Ugly flies again – this time on a J135. If my plan has problems, it might just fly again anyway.

Awesome! Great shots – all of them. Thanks Ray!

Excellant advice from Art. The CTI motors are consistently easy to light with the supplied ignitors and a little help inside doesn’t hurt for airstarts. Adam Boggs and Jason Chamberlin have both flown the L730. And the answer to #35…   Read more»

Happy to have helped out. Thanks Mike.

Kool idea – worth considering – maybe a bunch of us should plan a takeover one night and build something(s) outrageous.

Really all depends on what you’re looking to get out of your participation. If you’re into scale modeling and low power points competitions, then the NAR is probably the way to go. If you’d rather explore the edges of altitude…   Read more»

Ed, I’d go ahead and do that if I were you. I mean, fly it. Scott’s a newbie – besides, I have a stealth flyer that’s sure to win if I can find it.

Built in America, for America!

North site AOO is a two nautical mile radius for 20,000′ AGL and below, and it is a five nautical mile radius when the 35,000′ AGL windows were used.

FYI – Walking on the road, Jon Skuba counted 45 cars and 17 campers on site at 6:30 AM Saturday and 121 cars and 21 campers at noon. I’m not sure what time those exceptional aerial photos were taken but…   Read more»

FYI – Art Hoag took me flying Monday all over the North site and in searches out to about ten miles and unfortunately we were not able to spot anything on the ground that resembled bDale’s rocket or remains. Lots…   Read more»

Wacky Wiggler was found and probably packed up in either the LCO Table Blue Box. Also, Neil Kinney had Trey’s help in losing a Green Monkey Motor case in the immediate launch area.

Great pictures, GREAT LAUNCH. Still sorting thru the details but it looks as if 492 total flights including 2 Jr L1’s, 2 L1’s. 6 L2’s and 1 L3 so far. Probaby a few more certs but I didn’t get all…   Read more»

At the Colorado Consortium meeting of clubs, proposed dates for a great year of launching were discussed. NCR plans for MHM and OF are pending membership approval but are scheduled for Friday, May 22 thru Monday, May 25th (Memorial Day…   Read more»
