You ‘da Man, Jack. Thanks! I’m guessing it will be cold and probably muddy in places that aren’t still frozen or covered with snow.

Funny you should bring that up. I had plans to use an octocopter at 800′ with a laser motivated stability platform to prevent less than perfect verticle performance. Sims at just over 11,500′ on a clear and nearly immaculately calm…   Read more»

Lots of smack talk – Chad says “Show me the money. You got to pay if you want to play.”

Not to sound over confident, but I’m thinking of entering twice,(two different airframes) so I can double my chances of winning! And if Dave Way is playing, make sure Marshall isn’t the chief architect/designer. That kid has some serious smarts….   Read more»

Dave,Always easier to adapt a motor tube down a size than up. Estes has a simple product that surrounds the motor and does just that. They already have sleeves that make an 13mm motor fit comfortable in an 18mm tube,…   Read more»

http://www.soundingrocket.org/Might be a good competition to start with – probably too late this year to do the NASA Student Launch Initiative program.

Got anything suitable for the raffle?

Awesome – thank you Jack! If you have any problems, call me 303 859 9728 Waiver at 10 AM so about 9:30 on site works great. Weather forecast keeps changing – it is winter in Colorado but I’m believing we’ll…   Read more»

Missed you there Mike. Awesome day! Details posted in the Launch Logs but basically, 79 total flights, 28 of which were high power, including an L1 and L2 Cert flight. Weeds had sort of taken over the parking lot but…   Read more»

Most excellant – thanks Ken. Weeds have sort of overgrown the place, and don’t be shocked at the huge Haliburton type facility across the highway from the entrance. Weather forecast is looking better – should be an awesome day to…   Read more»

We’ve all lost another legendary hero. MSC definately had the Right Stuff!

Altus Metrum – http://www.altusmetrum.org/Bdale and Keith offer up about the best options going, if they are back at it. Bdale lost most of everything in the Black Forest Fire but has been recovering nicely. Local and very much a flyer.

Thanks Mike but the trailer won’t be needed. September launch was good but proved the prairie is too dry – the risk too great – for us to host Oktoberfest this year. I’m really surprized we got the go for…   Read more»

Big bummer but Expected. Our drought continues according to the climate change scenarios as global forecastors and local weather modeling indicates. Time to break out the dancing shoes, again, and gyrate for abundant moisture.

Actually, Fonzi’s was a four grain case and hardware – short two grains means smaller expense but still out of pocket. I possibly have a 6 to loan.

Ok Jack – you win. Yes, blue storage container is unlocked. Grab ALL of the fire extinguishers, four tables (two folded in half) and the ladder if it all fits in your truck and bring the stuff to the North…   Read more»

Jack – no need to make a special trip unless you really need to get away from it all. Probably should come out to fly a rocket. Pretty sure I’ll figure out how to re-load the trailer before getting it…   Read more»

Trailer is actually in Boulder, making it’s way back from Pueblo. However, the club tables and all of fire extinguishers are all in the storage container behind the sheds at the Darrington’s and will need retrieval. Let me know. Should…   Read more»

I’ll bring two folding tables and chairs, bumper stickers, a silly rocket or two for display. Looking forward to it.

Small date conflict with Tripoli Colorado’s SpringFling event at Hartsel. Hopefully, some members not attending the launch can help with the Expo. Great outreach opportunity!
