Okay, since I didn't have anything else to do (joke) I re-read these postings and will make the following observations. The AP Bonfire data has been collected and sort of corrected and very recently ...

Thanks MIke. Actually, most of us are already protected. NCR has tried to stay ahead of the curveball and our waivers are intact and issued. The Class 3 fliers might have some 'splaining to do bu...

Thank you Ken.I've got two flights planned for sure and maybe an experimetnal aircraft design on a much smaller motor. For sure - "Forever Ugly' on a Loki moonburner J175 and Croc-a-Do on a green si...

It's time to draft proposals for an NCR Membership Bailout including Regulatory relief from the ATF, open airspace from the FAA, free propellant, a moratorium on membership dues - whatever it takes t...

Very kool design - not sure I have the nimble fingers to make something like that work.

Our Pawnee Open or Regional (not sure yet) will probably happen on Saturday, May 2nd (not sure of events yet either - working on it) and MHM has been tenatively scheduled for Memorial Day weekend, Fri...

Fly 'em, fix 'em and fly 'em again. If only it were that easy.

Might that have been due to synthetic oil instead of the real stuff? I'm glad I wasn't driving next to it when she went kablooie.

NAR High Power wannabees spell it Triple E. I'm a Dual member but that's becasue I'm confused and don't know what I want to be if I grow up.

To sort of answer #2 and then #1, the Flash in the Pan Ignition methods works great on just about every Estes motor combination or cluster I have ever tried, from 1/2 A to C's and I have had a very h...

A lot depends on the lenght of the rod/rail needed for stable flight, not necessarily the width. UROC's guidelines are probably a great start for rules of thumb. And yes, weight to thrust ratio is c...

Scott, take a Midol. 😆 Mike, thank you for your kind words but check your math. 2 K's, depending on the K's, added together might still equal a K. Typically, regardless of the number of motors, it's ...

Everyone needs to keep their panties from getting bunched up. All good points of discussion. From a hysterical perspective, I mean historical, when PHITS and TRM were flying, the bent of competition...

Clusters and staged flights are credited to the largest motor used, not the total number of motors used or the total weight of propellant. Trying to enter more than one motor per flight creates othe...

What if the rocket used for the G shot also had to be the same rocket used for the J shot and you got to combine altitudes for a grand total? Two shots at one prize.
