If you’re planning an online store, you’ll need a bit more than what you can get for $5.95 a month. A simple presence-site with static content can easily be done that way and that’s probably the way you want to…   Read more»

I’ll talk with Jeremiah about it. I can arrange hosting for you for $10/mo or thereabouts.Warren

My Cirrus Dart was the first HPR bird I built and I wrapped three full wraps of 6oz glass around that baby. It flew successfully a three times and the forth flight was a spur of the moment attempt at…   Read more»

I may be mis-remembering things. Perhaps Chris only did 11K+ on his I600. On checking my flight records, my flight was on a 5 grain Cesaroni J285, not an I.Warren

I had a Cirrus Dart that flew over 12K and Chris LaPanse flew his on an I motor to 13K or so.Warren

I concur with Edward – one of the acknowledge hybrid experts of the club. Any hybrid except the Hypertek should be ignitable by a plain ematch – at least any that use an AP slug or pyrodex pellet. The Hyperteks…   Read more»

NCR has ground support for pretty much every commercial hybrid. Currently I’m the equipment geek in charge of the GSE. My personal experience is all nearly 100% with Hypertek, but have also assisted and managed GSE for RATT and Skyripper…   Read more»

Sparky, a minor but important point. You cannot lengthen ANY delay, you can only shorten them. If you want a longer delay for an AT motor, you buy the long delay for that motor. If that’s too long, you use…   Read more»

Mile Hi Mayhem is, with one exception, ALWAYS the first weekend in May and Oktoberfest the first weekend in October. Keep that in mind always and you’ll never miss it in the future.Warren

Conway, look for a PM in reply to this post.

The website currently requires a person to be a registered member in order to login and see Contest info and Launch Log info. I personally go through this list from time to time and I manually delete user accounts that…   Read more»

What I’m concerned about is capturing the necessary data to have an EX AP Bonfire contest and EX Club Altitude records. Also, of course, any contest fields that might apply, LCO and RSO initials. I’d like serious EX flyers to…   Read more»

Tim, you rock!Warren

Shouldn’t be a problem Doug. In writing does simplify it though. We’re going to visit that issue re: the bylaws sometime this year I think. A couple people have brought it up.Warren

This thread is starting to get a bit long and has wandered a bit from its original purpose. I’m going to lock it and ask Mike to start another one with a more appropriate topic title if he wants to…   Read more»

As a final comment on the L2 cert, I was in contact (for other reasons) with Pat Gordzelik and Kevin Trojanowski of the Tripoli Board and casually mentioned this situation. According to Pat:Hmm, tuff spot for Joe.However, I might have…   Read more»

Excellent Mike. No one is trying to stop you from pursuing your goals and achieving your L3 as soon as humanly possible, but along the way you should make sure that there is no question about having clearly acheived the…   Read more»

Mike, it’s going to be between you and your TAPs. However, be aware that not many TAPs will give you a go ahead at the speed you’re trying to move and TAP-shopping is very seriously frowned upon. Experience is what…   Read more»
