The windmill is gone? Bet you it was metal salvage thieves... W

I need a 3" (75mm) L motor somewhere around 20" long.... anybody have a recommendation? Warren

Don't avoid checking out Tripoli in preference to NAR... There are lots of larger motors going on as NCR is largely a high power club except for the kids... Feel free to email me or anyone else and fo...

I won't be out to the July 12th launch but I will be out to the launch on the 19th and 20th - hopefully with something to fly. Warren

That's going to be one thing that sets your altimeters apart from the run of the mill Adrian. At this point I'm past wanting to fly your altimeter with another altimeter - I want to fly it with a GPS ...

The only point I would make is that as far as I know, no manufacturer does individual unit calibration on altimeters. I've spoken to one manufacturer who I know pretty well on a face to face basis and...

The other post. Both by Ken Biba. I posted this in another discussion relating to competition measurement of altitude - particularly for TRA records that are now being set above 40k' MSL. It argues ...

I came upon the following 2 posts in the Tripoli list server, so apologies if you've already read this. I thought it was most appropriate to the discussion Adrian, I, and others have been having about...

I don't know the full story, just have seen posts specifically pointing out Robert's altimeters as being unsuitable for any Tripoli altitudes due to a lack of temp compensation. I have been under the ...

Adrian, I gladly defer to your knowledge and experience on this - I have no problem being taken to task - my last serious look at baro sensors was 5 or so years ago and parts weren't nearly as good as...

I've long felt that none of the commercial altimeters on the market are either accurate or precise. This is largely a matter of the economics of the marketplace to be sure. As I see it, there are seve...

Given Tom's history of rejecting altitude claims, I'm waiting to see what happens when someone claims a "serious" record on a Parrot. (J or above). There have been a lot of rejections on the basis of ...

Isn't there a way to adjust the SAM for ambient temperature? I would be very surprised if there weren't. As for waiver, the Atlas site will never exceed 12K due to the proximity of Hwy 14 and Briggsda...

I don't know about "wrangling" anything. I fully support the idea of temperature compensation for altimeters but I and the other folks who have been involved in setting the altitude record rules have ...

Joe and Art both regularly monitor this site so I'm sure they'll touch base. I do know that Joe will be out of town from mid-July through mid-August so someone else will need to step up to the plate i...
