It's a sad thing all this buearacracy and fees. Just another reason why I will never get a LEUP. I'll continue to pay for "flight services" from onsite vendors unless and until the rules tighten furth...

Are you saying that there is a completely separate set of permits and a test required by the STATE in addition to the BATFE LEUP? Warren

I'm going to put that down in the launch logs... and I'd like to put it down as a new club record and encourage you to submit it to Tripoli... That beat John's F record hands down and then some. Howev...

Still one more launch this year... even if there isn't, any two or three NCR members could get together to fly. A G80 powered bird and it's attendant weight and altitude possibilities mean no waiver r...

It has sufficient current to reliably fire e-matches? If so, I've got an F32 and a bird to fly it in come the December launch. Will it fit 24mm airframes/noses? I seem to remember it will. Warren

I assume you're talking about a 29mm bird flying on an Apogee F10? If so, I have to admit some skepticism about that altitude. While the F10 is nearly a 100% F motor, that altitude is well beyond any ...

...and if you were smart, you'd join Tripoli and cert with them. NAR is dying... at least as far as HPR is concerned. Their official comments on the proposed FAA rule changes for waivers shows that NA...

What the hell? Well that just sucks. That's the end of my business with Hobbytown. I guess they just want to pay minimum wage to a bunch of kids instead of keeping experienced managers around. Warren

In a word, No. There are a number of options though. You can arrange with Tim Thomas of Giant Leap to order your motors and store them until you need them at a launch (Aerotech, Cesaroni) . Jim Amos w...

You know if you have a lot of pics from the build and the flight, zip 'em up and send them to me and I'll create a photo gallery album for them and get them posted. Warren

I'm with you on that John. I was surprised they even dignified those conspisracy nuts with even those 30 seconds. I shed more than a tear or two and my wife and I were literally the only folks in the ...

Ray, Chris, I'd like to go through your Oktoberfest pics and chose a couple to use on the website. Any issues with that? Warren

I'd be extremely leery of christmas bulbs on high thrust rockets. My 2 cents... Personally I've gone over 100% to surgical rubber tubing for all my charges and I stick with e-matches. Warren

All I'll say is that your F bird is far too short. Not that I want the competition on the E, F, and G records, but I've never seen a bird that was stable on an F10 that was shorter than 10 or 12 inche...

We've had several successful SSSS shots, so I think we'll award the prize for that. If no one flies the SSS though, we'll roll it over and give everyone who paid up another shot. W
