Actually – not an Executive meeting but a discussion of Web issues and responsibilities.

Next attempt for a launch will be on Saturday, January 7th, at the Atlas site. Meeting on the 14th – more info to be posted soon.

The offer of coffee is appreciated but exercise chasing rockets is how I plan to stay warm. Pretty sure Jon and I are lofting the Falcon on a cluster of I’s.And I’ve got a lot of Alphabet Cloning to do.

I don’t live in Fort Collins so I’ll welcome you to NCR with a public message. Welcome back to the world of hobby rocketry and finally to Colorado to stay. That’s a lot of hauling back and forth and you’ve…   Read more»

Awesome list and greatly appreciated. I much prefer “unofficial” records – less bs to deal with and still reasonable facsimilies of what’s been accomplished or claimed. Most of the altitudes reported by NCR members, at least on our home flying…   Read more»

I’ll second that sentiment. I am Blessed to have had the opportunities to live in the land of the Free and the Brave. Proudly served and huge thanks to everyone that has, does or did.

Apart from the incorrect year, the meeting is still scheduled for the 14th as the first Saturday of the month is usually reserved for launching. As you recall, we once upon a time launched and then met for an afternoon…   Read more»

Not happening. NCR’s scheduled November launch has been cancelled. Apologies for the late notice. Weather concerns (Cold, Cloud cover and Wind) and launch site conditions (snow and mud) have made this the most sensible decision.NO LAUNCH. Regrettably, we won’t be…   Read more»

Thanks Adrian. Post registration wasn’t necessary but is appreciated. The weather really hurt turn out but that just means the next launch will be all the more busy. NCR remains healthy and mostly ready.

Epic! And there were several other awesome adventures up! Lots of pictures and videos getting posted on YouTube and elsewhere. Time to plan another project to take out next year just to be there.

Planning on being in Pueblo on Saturday – bringing the store, sort of. Might get to fly something as well.

NAR contest at SCORE on the 15th/16th – pretty sure most of the events are practice for NARAM 53. Info here: http://www.scronline.net/html/regional_.html

Those of us that saw it LIVE and in person won’t forget it anytime soon. Rail straight up and out of there – gorgeous boost – perfect deployment and recovery in sight, maybe 350 yards out there. Face plant or…   Read more»

A heavy column of smoke visible directly west of Fort Collins is coming from a planned and controlled burn on 21 acres at Horsetooth Mountain Open Space.Larimer County officials are managing and monitoring the fire, which was intentionally set to…   Read more»

As stated previously, the GSE has been removed from the equipment trailer. I do not have the time or space to collect it from Ed for this weekend. Sorry. I am bringing Ed’s Pink tank.

Pretty sure it’s a 2″ – I thought we went generic that way so more could play “box hauler and road warrior”.

Looking to start field set up about noon Thursday – that is – establishing the flight line, parking line limit, spacing toilets, unloading the trailer when it gets there (who’s towing?) setting the pads and fire equipement, pad numbers, PA,…   Read more»

Absolutely – training is available and shadow operations are encouraged until everyone is comfortable with what they are doing. Basic guidelines are available in the Volunteer Schedule link.

As an added attraction, they do have a Full Scale fly-by with a Mig 17, and a Thunderbird and a few others slated between noon and 12:30. Rumor has it, an A-10 Warthog is going to make an appearance. Airshow…   Read more»
