I like the road between Baggs and Encampment....

3 Dogs Rocketry (and my 3 mascots) will be headed to Wyoming for some Aspen viewing - so I won't be there. I hope you guys have calm winds, blue skies, and a great time in Hartsel!

Robbing from another thread - the weather may play a VERY heavy hand in the Alphabet contest. If we don't fly in October, that will leave November for anyone wanting to do an M (the Atlas site won't ...

For my part, I'm going to be away on VACATION from October 2-7... if O'Fest gets cancelled, I will stay out on the road until the 9th. As such, I selfishly hope the call is made more than the day bef...

The new fire is about 10-12 miles "as the rocket flies" from our home. It was *very* near Eric Krug's house... Eric is a past Prefect for the legacy club, Tripoli Rocky Mountains. It started about a...

I enthusiastically support the call to cancel the launch - especially since there is another VERY bad fire west of Loveland this afternoon. While I'd have loved to have delivered orders and been vend...

Actually, if you DO attempt this at home, I'd like to see it. From a safe distance...

Indeed, the extended forecast looks SUPERB 8) 3 dogs will be there... I have invited Mike Stoops (of Madcow fame). Hopefully he can join us?

There are two other fairly cool APODS that came up in the last week or so (at least from my perspective)... was taken from the Pawnee National Grasslands... and today's was taken from a spot that m...

You are sorta both right 😀 First, go to and it pretty clearly shows (in the photo) as filament wound. Best to check directly with Tim, but he has been moving away from Performance convolute tubing...

I'm going to get another kit before OFest and also a reload for a L2 Cert flight. I'd like to support a local vendor if I could, so anyone got any specials? I'm looking for a 2" 38MM size rocket, rig...

And there's a BIG waiver to play with at BALLS. YES THERE IS... and it is fun to see some guys get up there. I believe this will be the largest CO contingent ever going to BALLS... probably a dozen o...

Any high altitude waiver windows for September? 8) 8) YES. But not at NCR 😕 The guys at Argonia have a dandy waiver (and a big launch!) over Labor Day. NCR's windows are only at MHM, the July 2-da...

That is probably one of the coolest rockets I have EVER seen! I once saw a monster Astron "Sprite" upscale that... had a horrible ending. I hope your rocket fares better! Those ring assemblies have c...

thanks - I actually uploaded some stuff last night on Picasa and it seemed to work pretty cool!
