Hello All, Hope your holiday season went well... :-) Been thinking about the lack of altitude events and seemed to notice that setting up the stations is one...
I'd strongly recommmend against it. A couple of years ago, I pushed Launch Crue for a 6 event regional with three of the events being altitude events. They...
Hi Chad, Thanks for the reply. I hear you about the pain and taking so much time hence the all altitude approach. Andy ... Launch Crue for a 6 event regional...
By my reckoning, the higher impulse altitude events aren't held because we CD's simply either can not or will not muster what it takes to arrange tracking....
It's fairly simply to get them used for altitude events. All you need is to get approval from your Regional CB chair for a 'novel tracking method' The other...
Hi Chad, Thanks for the reply... Alot of what you mentioned is beyond my ability to influence but I do like one of your suggestions very much. What do you...

... It can be just that, but IMHO it's that and more. You need a very large field for the high impulse altitude events. If you can fly a B Alt model to over...
There’s more to flying altitude events than just the tracking logistics. There's the matters of prepping the models, with all that "fun" tracking powder to...
Like I said, if I were CB chair, I'd say no. With all the altimeters on the market, making sure of each one's accuracy is a problem. If you limit it to one...
I swear Trip did some meet with them a couple years back, like a section meet with Set Altitude or something. I won't swear to it, but for some reason it...

MARS tried altimeters in Predicted Altitude at a NAR meet in May 1997. Tom Lyon had given the go-ahead for provisional use at this meet. Here's an email I sent...
Ulf, If you ever launched a C motor, for instance, on a snowy, cold day. You'll notice that it tends to burn slightly longer than normal. I don't know if it...
... Then they shouldn't be used at all in NAR contests, If they aren't reliable enough to get an absolute Altitude, then they can't be used for records. If...
Hi Dan, Yes, altimeters should not be used for records or any event that is eligible for records. Precision altitude events don't have records, as you know,...
