Still waiting to hear back from the FAA regarding approval of North Site waiver which has the 20K standing waiver and requests for specific days for windows. Just so happens, the specific days coincide with every planned day for the…   Read more»

Tie your hands and feet together behind your back, adjust blindfold and dive in head first – what could possibly go wrong? KISS has always been a mantra – lots of opportunity to screw things up after you’ve earned the…   Read more»

Pretty certain they are all shot up. Hauled a kitty liter box away filled with pieces of broken glasss and chipped concrete on Saturday. The site has become a over-used shooting range. Last month , with the help of the…   Read more»

Really surprizing how long it took for the L to come up to pressure – top grains might have been charred from the previous two attempts to light. Awesome videos and nice pictures Mike.

Extended forecast looks good – maybe a bit chilly early on. Waiver should open at nine – we should plan on setting up 8:30ish. Thanks for volunteering on towing out. Looking forward to shaking your hand – thanks for the…   Read more»

Chad, if no one needs or wants them, you could add them to the LCO box in case someone is looking for one on site, or give them to me and I’ll add them to my box. I usually have…   Read more»

Un-officially as I haven’t finished sorting or begun posting – 114 flights – 33 different flyers – 80 Class One, 34 Class Two.

Got your message too late to return your call – actually this morning too early to call. Will bring seal discs.

If Ed can’t tow back, I probably can. Haven’t ever tried using Vanna that way but I’m pretty sure she’s up to the task.

Excellant thread starter Ed. NCR Launch weekend dates have traditionally been the first and/or second Saturday of each month, with exceptions in July because of the National Independence Day celebrations and September, because of Labor Day observations and a conflict…   Read more»

Try Jeff with Shockwave – http://www.shockwaverocketry.com Pretty sure he’s still making cones for Tim at Apogee, among others.And the folks at Rocketry Warehouse – http://rocketrywarehouse.com have some pretty nice cones as well.

Most excellant Jack. No diffy Q’s, just plain and simple rocket science. Mostly a Show and Tell adventure. Maybe even a small demo launch. I’m still waiting to hear back from the teacher about a specific date/opportunity. I’ll keep you…   Read more»

Prior to touch off for the Loveland shoot on the lake, fellow pyro Walt read the Declaration of Independence out loud so we all had a better sense of the moment. 236 years of celebrating with bonfires and illuminations. Fire…   Read more»

A Quick howdy and Welcome and slight correction to information previously provided. You need not be a member of NCR to fly rockets with us but you will need to be a member of NAR or TRA to fly high…   Read more»

The inside info I have says the Chili Blaster event happening still looks like a possibily. The current Fire Ban and relevant situations do not look good for Colorado events although the clout of ULA and Ball Aerospace might help…   Read more»

If you haven’t already been dancing and/or praying and/or postulating and/or considering a sacrifical offerring – you’re wrong!Thanks for passing on the news Bear – I’ve been monitoring carefully. I might not always agree with the gubmint or our elected…   Read more»

As recoveries go, this MHM was awesome. As far as I know at least five longtime MIA’s were brought to closure and returned to owners and also a small parachute from a seperation the previous launch. I know Jeff Wilder,…   Read more»
