Yes, they are compatible. All AT compatible threaded motor cases are.Grease-wise, I use regular automotive grease for motors smaller than L and Dow 111 for L’s and above (not that I’ve flown any M’s yet). Most of the heavy hitters…   Read more»

Yeah, I get my Argon and Argon/CO2 mix from the same place. Interesting thing, ALL helium production is tied to natural gas, but only a few natural gas fields produce significant quantities of helium. The US has been the world’s…   Read more»

Believe it or not, I have a ultra high altitude balloon project I’ve been working on – meant to go to over 100K at least at some point of the project. I have a slew of websites to check into…   Read more»

Drive safe Tim… don’t forget my M motors (and the casings).Warren

Yes, well, with only 4 weekends in a month, it’s going to conflict with something. As I recall, TC’s regular launches are the 3rd weekend of the month which is why I am moved to push it to the June…   Read more»

I just got off the phone with Joe and MHM is definitely ON for this weekend. At the June meeting the membership will discuss moving the date for future MHM’s later in the season.Given the forecast, I expect we will…   Read more»

There is a move to discuss whether to move Mile Hi Mayhem to a later date. The second weekend in May has been shot down due to Mothers Day. The Memorial Day weekend would violate the clubs normal prohibition against…   Read more»

I like that idea Ed… I’m going to talk to Jeremiah about adding Lat/Long fields to the launch log flight records. Like altitude, they’ll only work if people report them on the flight card, but the idea has merit.Warren

At the very top of the lower picture is an east-west road leading to a windmill on the right side. Our launch site starts just on the north side of that road and the launch table generally sits 100 to…   Read more»

No worries – very much appreciate the effort you put into just finding out what was public and what was private. Thank you Mike…Warren

Well seeing that map, I know I’ve trespassed at least once chasing someone else’s K250 shot.NCR’s site is mismarked on this map though. The pads are located just south of the 1 mile ring by a couple hundred yards.Warren

Doug, your footage is by far the very best amateur rocketry footage on the planet, bar none. I just showed it the other night to a friend of mine who has been out to a few launches and he just…   Read more»

Count me in for a copy.Warren

There is no need for anyone to put off projects or flights. All we ask is for folks to step up and take a 2 hour stint at one of the volunteer positions: LCO, RSO, Pad Manager or Administration Tent.There…   Read more»

There is a popup of all the volunteer slots that you get when you open that page and a link on the page to pop it up separately.Warren

The email list is currently only available to Joe – the president. He’s the only one who can send it out until we make a major update to the website. Also, many members have not provided the club with email…   Read more»

Let’s be clear – if we don’t have volunteer LCO’s, RSO’s and Pad Managers scheduled for Friday and Saturday, MHM will be cancelled.Sign up now! The only known slot filled right now is LCO for 8AM to 2PM on Friday…   Read more»

Yeah, the Aeolus moniker was the name I gave the design series. Each individual bird ends up with a different name that actually ends up on the flight cards.The actual Aeolus series were the Aeolus E, the Aeolus F/G (Aeolus…   Read more»

Don’t feel bad Adrian. In my quest for those Wilke records, I’ve built a successive series of 5 birds and all but the first and the last are lost somewhere out on the prairie.Aeolus 1 – Took club E record…   Read more»

One key thing to keep in mind is the position of the actual GPS antenna. The rubber ducky whip provided with the DC is the communications antenna back to the handheld, not the GPS antenna. The GPS antenna is a…   Read more»
