I have the full kit including a reload. I plan on flying it in June or July in my 4″ bird – you’re welcome to use it afterwards.W

It seems that dividing records by impulse range is the only truly logical solution. John and I have had a fair amount of discussion about altitude records over the last few years and one piece of fallout from that has…   Read more»

Well Doug, you have even more admiration from me – I’ve been using the cool tools since I’ve had access to them and would have thought you had some access to them given your job. Even more power to you…   Read more»

Doug, as always, I stand in awe of your projects. I thought I was gonna be the new cool kid at the launches with my NC machined parts. You’ve gone far beyond that.Warren

I would bet looking at what Doug has shown that he drew things up in either Solidworks or Pro/Engineer and had the software figure out the intersection shapes and possibly even make cutting templates or exported it to an NC…   Read more»

Doug, you DO know how to do it right… Damn…Warren

Well done Joe… take a bow and have a beer – you deserve it.Warren

That’s EXACTLY it! – We need to plan for next time and we need to start looking at next time…right now! Excellent thoughts Joe.Warren

A few years ago I got it in my head that NCR was such a great club with such a great launch site that we should host LDRS. I brought it up at one of my first Executive Committee meetings…   Read more»

Mike, I definitely lean in the direction you speak of. “You want to fly then you’re gonna work.” Up until a couple years ago, the completely lassaiz faire method of management worked just fine. It no longer does. Having a…   Read more»

Adrian, John has -some would say perhaps for too long – held an utter lock on club altitude records. I know he’s said as much to me at the same time he took quite a bit of time to mentor…   Read more»

I wish you the best with this flight Mike – don’t know if I’ll make it out there for this launch due to the predicted weather and a lack of anything ready to fly.Again, best of luck.Warren

That has to be the most Challenger-like post mortem video I’ve ever seen in rocketry. Excellent Mike.Warren

I thought it was a great flight and that you’d planned the airstarts just that way.Warren

If it’s any help, I’d buy a few if you end up having to have them made.Warren

John, the split rings used by Skyripper hybrids are somewhat less than half the exposure of the AMW rings – also a bit lighter and thinner. I don’t know where they get theirs but that would be where I’d look.Warren

It was at the launch table Sunday morning. Either Joe has it or it is in the trailer.W

Jon’s flight was already mentioned Bruce – I was trying to bring up a couple other highlights besides.You make a couple good points Bruce – same stuff I’ve been saying for a couple years. This year really brought the pad…   Read more»

Don’t look for the logs for a day or three – Joe just got home around 7:30 and is exhausted.There were many great flights this weekend. John Wilke’s I altitude attempt at 13K+ though he didn’t quite make the necessary…   Read more»

Adrian, I’m planning on flying one in my L3 bird in July. Please PM me your personal contact info – need to talk to you about it and get some dimensions so I can add mountin in my Ebay.Warren
