During the meeting Sunday we discussed the possibility of a large club project
to launch at NYPOWER this year.  Neal Bade still
has a LOC ESOTERIC we could use.  We need to know who would be itnerested in
this.

Please send me an email if you are interested.  Several things are up for
discussion/decision such as:

Where would we work on the project?
What motors would you like to see it fly on?  Cluster, air starts, etc?
What electronics would we use?

After we find out the interest level, we will discuss this at the next meeting
(January)

Pat

Our December meeting will be on Sunday December 13 at 1:00 pm at the
Strongsville Library.

The Skybusters launch is canceled for this weekend.  There is just enough mud
and just enough wind to make it miserable.  We'll try again in two weeks.  Also,
we are going to attempt our 2nd annual New Year's Day Launch on January 1st.

Dan

Greetings all,

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  As 2009 comes to a close, it's time to
renew memberships for 2010.  Dues are still $10 for individuals and $15 for
families.  Please make checks payable to Skybusters.  Also, you must hold an
active NAR membership that must be verified by a club officer.

Renewal can be done at the next club meeting or send completed renewal forms to:

Bruce McKnight
Skybusters Membership

Cleveland, Ohio  44131

Thanks in advance.

Bruce McKnight
Secretary

Sorry about the typo.

Will will have a launch on Sunday at the Amherst field from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Directions to the field can be found at www.skybusters.org. Parking and range

Hello,

I am with a Cub Scout pack in Parma, OH.  Next summer, we were
thinking about having an outing where our scouts could launch
model rockets that they would build at their den meetings.  I was
hoping someone in your club would be able to recommend a nearby
location that would be suitable for us to launch the rockets.

We haven't looked into kits yet, but these will likely be small
model rockets using "A" or "B" Estes motors at the most.  We would
probably be doing this on a Saturday or Sunday in July and we would
welcome any suggestions on where we could take the boys to do this.
It appears that the metro parks do not allow rockets so we are unsure
of where we could go.  We have approximately 50 boys in the pack.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

If we launch this weekend it will be on Sunday from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.  The
limiting factor will be the condition of the field.  If we do launch, expect
lots of mud.  The final decision on the launch will be made of Friday.  The
website and this yahoo group will have the latest info.

I've the parts for my next rocket sitting here with me in the Ohio Outback on
a job (ook ook, me macho knuckle-dragger hardhat). Likely this beastie will be
the first of my rockets to go supersonic, so a bit of re-enforcement to the
airframe would be a good thing. Any suggestions, advice, assists, where to get
stuff, etc. would greatly be appreciated. I should be back in a few weeks from
this employment session.

   Oh, and Pat, if that rocket stuff I was interested is still available, I'll
try to get in contact this Sunday when I have a day off.

Chuck

The Amherst field has been cleared and is ready for launches.  We will attempt
to have one this weekend.

President

The Skybusters meeting will be held on Sunday November 8th at 1:00 pm at the
Strongsville Library.

We will begin with the election of Officers for 2010. If you are interested in
running for an officer position, please contact our
President, Dan Vento.

There will be a technical discussion on Painting and finishing or "How the heck
do you get paint to stick to a LOC nosecone".

Also, we will have a swap meet. Bring your surplus stuff and your money.

Discussions will include education opportunities and remaining ATFE issues
(igniters, ematches, BP)

We have lost contact with some of our members. If your email address has changed
please contact us (mcknight-b-a@...) with
your new address

The Library is right under the water tower near the police station, at the
center of town
- Rt82 & Rt42. See their website HERE.

The field is still planted with corn and the rain is still causing problems. 
Mr. Borne was dealing with a stuck semi when we
called.  There will be no launch this weekend and this emails confirms the
meeting will be held at the library.

All persons interested in rocketry are welcome…club members and non-members
alike.

Greetings.

Word from our land owner is that it will still be a couple of weeks before we
will be able to use the Amherst field.

We will be having a Skybusters meeting on November 8th. The location will be
either the Strongsville Library or the Amherst field if conditions are right for
a launch.  Please note that we will be having an election for officers at this
meeting.  Nominations are still open, so please contact me if interested in
running for any office.

Skybusters Meeting
1:00 PM
September 13, 2009
Strongsville Public Library

We will be taking nominations for officers for 2010.

I found the motors at the Micheal's in Parma, near Parma Town Mall. I
believe the one in Chagrin has them also. I guess they might be phasing
out rocketry stuff as the store in Akron isn't carrynig anything anymore.

Chuck

P.S. The flying yesterday with the grandson was fun. Until the flying
season officially begins, and someone wants to play with little stuff,
the park across from the grandson's place in Parma is ideal (Hetzel
Park, off of State Road). Anything Estes ought to be fine, even flew my
LOC Lil' Nuke handily on a D. Gimme a holler and I'll bring the launch
equiptment.

There will be a Skybusters meeting Sunday September 13th at 1:00 pm at the
Strongsville Public Library.  We will be taking nominations for Officers for
2010 and will be discussing plans for the fall-winter-spring flying season.

Dan Vento
President
Skybusters NAR 535

And the Michael's ad in this Sunday's newspaper has a 50% off coupon good for
Sunday and Monday only.

Chuck, which Michaels's do you shop at? In recent months, I have only seen
rocket kits and motors at Michaels' in Aurora and Avon.

I don't know if any knew that Micheal's is handing out 40% off coupons
on a singular item on your next purchase. Needless to say I used it to
buy a launch pack of motors (taking the grandson flying tomorrow,
so....). The price, after discount, was $35.55 for the 24 motors. And I
got handed another 40% off coupon. that's good for the next 2 weeks.
Just figured I'd pass that along.

Chuck

It would be a drive for you guys up north but they do have a 10,000' waiver and
you can launch is warm weather.
