Too many variables out there to determine the right sized charge without adequate testing and checking for pressure leaks and conditions. Still better to incrementally experiment than to double the charge. Too many powder calculators to chose from. I’ve had…   Read more»

Yehaw!!! Like I needed permission to lose another project. And now you’ll need to figure out how to do tandem flights.

Jon Skuba and I hope to get the Ultimate Endeavor off on a CTI K650 to airstart three Aero I284’s. And I might finally have my ugly “Forever” project finished.

Can’t say for sure what the laws are in the Fort Collins area but in Boulder County flying even model rockets is considered against the law although typically the AHJ’s look the other way when flying on the large athletic…   Read more»

Well, it is public land but I’d hate for someone to tarnish our relationships with the NAR, Tripoli, the USFS, the BAFTE and the FAA. There are rules and regulations that come into play when flying rockets and I would…   Read more»

Another update on vendors. Boy Scout Troop 548 from Longmont plans on doing concessions – hot dogs, chips, sodas – on Saturday.

Best to let Tim Thomas from Giant Leap know NOW if there’s a special animal you’re looking for. AMW is in Florida and they are still recovering from huricane Fay and LDRS orders.

As I understood it, Ken will be towing out and we’ll do a small set up, depending on what folks that show up need. I know of a few Cert flights and am pretty sure the weather will cooperate for…   Read more»

Well, silly me – I thought the proposed contest was still in the discussion/planning stage and was intended for the 2009 Oktoberskies celebratory launch with a formal presentation and acceptance of the rules at the annual meeting in January. This…   Read more»

And I thought “Special K” was just a breakfast cereal. Yehaw!!!

Count me in.

Hobby Lobby often has coupons worth 40% off a single purchase – good for motors or kits.

Great prices and products – save on shipping with pick up at LDRS. I’m mulling over the menu – too much to choose from. Always been partial to the 38’s but the 54’s are mighty tempting too. Maybe it’s time…   Read more»

“I buy, you fly” was the five floor stairway trek (each way) to the soda machine before AP became a staple of life and completely changed the meaning.

WOW! It ‘s probably time to buy stock in your movie company. Or start to pass the hat around for your showings. I’m anxious to see the new footage at Oktoberfest. I’d suggest a few warm up flights/tests before Odyssey…   Read more»

Some really great photos! How’s the film footage look? When’s the premier showing? Thanks Doug!

I think the small x is used to denote “rookie” status on racing machines and such. Mike, you are no rookie. And your wife just doesn’t understand all of the compexities involved. (Neither does mine).The “Rocketry Widows” meet the same…   Read more»

Regarding sponsorships – “Come on in, the airspace is clear” !

I’ll sponsor a flight or two and I’m sure we can find another sponsor or two for L1 flights for your team. A Cert flight is a different issue since it is supposed to be an individual thing. Of course,…   Read more»

I’m pretty sure Art and Andy went to Oshkosh for the EAA Fly-in Expo and Extravaganza but they should be back soon.
