You KNOW our birds are all going to turn up... and I can tell you that I had two RRC2X's that laid in the sun for 16 months and they both work fine. Warren

Much as I'm bummed that my rocket is sitting unrecovered on the prairie, I have to agree with John (who core sampled his SSS bird). The lack of tracking is an issue that lends spice to the contest. Ho...

All I can say is that if you're not using rails on birds with 38mm motor or above, and even 29mm birds, you're not up to speed on current best practices. While the club maintains a bunch of launch rod...

I do like my Hypertek... in fact, I'm overdue to fly it and I still have 3 or 4 grains handy-like... I guess that means I have to repair my 4" bird and get it ready for a few flights. The biggest prob...

Ed's is history as well... somewhere out on the prairie. Warren

I too lost an SSS bird out at the North Site on Saturday 11/4. It is white with 2 red and 1 black fin, a true conical nose cone and has a Perfectflight MAWD in it. I will pay a $20 reward if found and...

For smaller hybrids, I'm a big fan of the Hypertek system, but there are a lot of folks in the club who swear by RATT. On the larger hybrids, one of our club members has flown a lot of big Hyperteks a...

Personally I would use G10 for the fin cores and slot them into the airframe, then run 1 or more layers of glass or carbon tip to tip across the entire fin. I've done some spectacular shreds on Machbu...

I saw the fin can, but never saw a motor casing. The remains were pretty shot except for the can itself. I believe we even paged Chris up to the LCO table, but I left and never saw what happened after...

John, when I joined the club, a "Wilke" charge was already a well established adjective amongst many of the folks who call you friend... Perhaps it is due to one or two particular incidents, but... it...

Yes... whether it is Bob Messner's nice tower is unknown. The club does have a tower suitable though. Warren

Tripoli rules preclude darts for single motor altitude events. There is a special category for darts so I would say they are out for the SSS and SSSS. That's my judgement and I would expect if you thi...

There has been 1 attempt, but there is a bug in the contest code on the site that I haven't gotten around to resolving yet. There has also been 1 flight on the Super SSS with the J350. Expect several ...

Geof, while walking onto private land is theoretically an issue, we have never been dinged for crossing fence lines. Almost 100% of the land adjacent to the launch site is also BLM land. Feel free to ...

The club takes care of all FAA notifications for flights at club sanctioned launches. We have the waiver, you don't ever need to worry about it. As for the lugs, I would strongly recommend you avoid l...
