Everyone’s been smoking something. Apparently, none of you, including Jim, seem to recall the very first conversation when Jim offered the very first unit as an NCR raffle prize. Buy your tickets now!!!

You’ll be able to renew your membership on site at MHM at the registration table where you will pick up your flyer’s wristband and can buy raffle tickets.

Catch me on the range – I’ve got one to use.

Spiltting a rocket apart at Apogee might be called Seperation Anxiety. Both parts would need to have recovery devices attached per Safety Codes and a benefit is then watching two objects defy gravity, for awhile anyway, and a drawback would…   Read more»

So is it an entry per burnt motor in the cluster or just an entry for flying a cluster? Great idea either way. Thanks Tim!

It’s our club – no rights reserved. I’ve probably still got a few stickers left in my office box – ask at our April launch. Otherwise, contact John Hall at Electricweave http://www.electricweave.com He does graphic design, custom t-shirts etc. Got…   Read more»

Takes different nossles for the I405 and I110 but same case. Great propellant! And that J528 is also a kick butt motor. Haven’t flown anything in the 54’s but have been drooling. I’d do that if I were you Tim,…   Read more»

The plan is still to launch. The wind is supposed to be dying and temps are supposed to be rising. Sunday might turn out to be even a better day but Saturday is what we’ve got to play with. Plan…   Read more»

Friends, Just to clarify, our standing waiver at the North site is 20,000′ AGL, not 25,000 (yet) and we have not received confirmation of our requested windows to 35,000′ AGL for MHM and OF (yet). Plan accordingly and please, reasearch…   Read more»

Short version of a long story. Grew up watching the Space Race. Lost a few of my older brother’s kits. Tried making my own rockets and motors with tinfoil wrapped tubes and curlers packed with powder from 22’s and kitchen…   Read more»

And if you don’t get much response, bring all of it to our meeting as lots of members don’t read these forums.

Why not bring it to the NCR Meeting and Swap Meet and find it a new owner. We’ll be meeting at the VFW Hall in Ault on January 13th, doors at 11 and meeting starting approximately at noon.

Make it even more fun and require a different rocket for each motor size, regardless of whether you have an altimter reading for the smaller ones. Recovery of each has to be accomplished before the next size up is launched….   Read more»

The FAA has used 5430′ for the North site and 4830′ for the Atlas site on our waiver information. Plus or minus a few feet here or there shouldn’t affect sims by more than a few feet.

Yehaw! Keep accurate records and remember to frame and display prominently after you’ve made copies to sign and mail off to all of the motor vendors and rocketry related suppliers. And when we win the lawsuit, you won’t need to…   Read more»

Yehaw. Sit by the mailbox and wait for it. Should come in about three diffferent envelopes and then you’ll need to make copies and post the original where the world can see it. Congrats. To the best of my knowledge,…   Read more»

It probably was a telemarketer or solicitor of some type. Not to worry. If really concerned, call your local ATF office and ask if they’ve been trying to get in touch for your interview to complete your application process. If…   Read more»

I’m bad at judging distances but it was out from the launch site about as far as the first windmill and off to the south, at the foot of the slowly rolling hills that roll and rise to the upper…   Read more»

If my memory serves we well, Bob Messner was the finder and I’m sure he’ll turn it over to owner at request. Sunday became a blurr and a hurry up let’s get out of here weather wise day so folks…   Read more»

If I read your question correctly – NO. ANY flight, research or commercial that is going above the 25 K needs approval. The maximum launch altitude of a research flight shall be 75% of the waiver altitude established for the…   Read more»
