This would be a decision made by the "usual suspects" that seem to put out 90% of the effort on AARG launches.
 
Oh BTW, we need a vice president for 2010 :-)

Subject: [rocketry-austin] January commercial/certified launch - Jan 2nd or Jan 9th?

When will the non-research launch be? I know it is usually the 1st Saturday of the month, but I figured things might be different this time because that Saturday is so close to the holidays.... on a personal/selfish note, the 9th would work out better for me because it'd be easier to get a school bus for the kiddos on that day.

Thank you, Rick.  That is the most cogent and concise explanation of the new rules that I have seen.

Subject: [rocketry-austin] Research launch reminder



For our upcoming research launch this next Saturday, which by the way has good weather forecast at the present time, we need to review the rules for flyers and spectators at the event.
 
Only Tripoli affiliated flyers are allowed, everyone flies to their certified level with only those who are L2 or L3 allowed to fly research motors.  Every TRA flyer is allowed to fly commercial motors to their certified level.  Certification flights are allowed, only using commercial motors.
 
All spectators are welcome but those who are not TRA members will be limited to where they can go and all minor spectators are restricted from the flightline and research motor preparation areas.  Children of TRA members are the responsibility of those members and should be kept well in line.  Please remember that we have negotiated very favorable launch rules with our insurance companies by our vigilance to following rules that limit risks to the companies, we do not want to overstep any bounds and risk this very good relationship.  Flyer's guests are the responsibility of the flyers and need to be informed that certain rules need to be followed.  Sponsoring a guest needs to be considered the flyer's concern and those individuals should stay with their sponsors.
 
The waiver rules of 75% will be followed and special flights with commercial motors that are a known quantity will be considered on a case by case basis.  Our base altitude of 14,000 feet for commercial flights allow us to use 12,000 feet for research flights due to the way that the waiver is structured.  All flights expected to exceed 10,000 feet will need to be reviewed by the RSO for compatibility with the waiver and field.  Simple power levels to N motors are allowed and complex to M, please have these upper end flights reviewed before coming to the safety check in table.
 
Under no circumstances are flights by others than TRA certified and over 17 flyers to be allowed.  You must be 18 or over and a member of TRA to fly.
 
Currently certified motors and all AP, AN, and sugar motors are recognized for research motors and gas passers (hybrids)are also allowed.  No liquid fuels are recognized or are Tribrids other than BoD approved flights allowed.
 
Please be aware that this launch is more intense but appears less structured than a commercial launch.  The flyers usually have more occupying their minds but the pace is notably slower with the true rocketry geeks kind of following each flight as it comes up and loads/flies.  If you are coming to watch be aware that there are likely to not be as many flights as a commercial launch but those that do show will be technically more complex.

Noted.

To that end, you should know that all references to "commercial" motors have been replaced with "certified". 
 
Seems like a little thing, but it actually works quite nicely.

Thanks, Jeff. 
Chad was quick on his response this time and I scored on a couple of motors and the 38/1080 case.
With any luck I will be able to come out and fly in a couple of months. I have to get the altimeter thing worked out to my satisfaction,
but I think that I can still get by with motor ejection if the winds are light.

Thanks for posting this Rick, it should really help educate folks about the Tripoli Research rules.
 
I do have one comment.  After spending a good 6 months working on revising the Research Safety Code, I'm pretty good a word smiting this kind of stuff :-)
 
To that end, you should know that all references to "commercial" motors have been replaced with "certified".

Chad, I will take you up on the offer for both motors and the casing. Let me know the cost and where to send the check. This should help to provide me with the nudge to finish the remaining repairs and get back to some flying!

Seriously, I was amazed at how many folks showed up, but the day was a
washout due to the weather.  Low ceiling and misty rain.

Oh well, there is always next Saturday.  Rick will post a note on the
details of the Tripoli Research launch that we will hold next Saturday
(weather permitting).

Jeff did sell motors to those that showed up so that is a very good sign for
the hobby!

Mark Willett reports that the site is not underwater, but it is a little
muddy.  Fliers might consider bringing mud boots.

Rick and I will arrive around 9am.  Fliers needing first hand status reports
later this morning should call me on my cell: 512.413.3012

Off to Whataburger for breakfast....

It looks like we had some light rain in Round Rock last night.  No rain now however.
 
I'll be bring my stash of RR SU motors so if you want some of them come and get 'em.

I will ONLY be there until lunch time. So if you need motors/cases get there
before noon. I'll bring everything I have including the things were pre-ordered

I do not have the case either. I have 38/240, 38/360, and 38/720.
Chad might have the case too.

Jeff I'm looking at the list and you don't have the 38/1080 case. I have one on hand.

I don't know about the 38mm case, I have a couple and do not remember the sizes (don't have the info at work). I have no K550 reloads so you will need to deal with Chad directly for that. It's doubtful I will see him before January, but I'll be happy to bring anything back to Austin when I do see him next (this goes for anyone).

Dammit Jason, there you go again messin up the weather. I suppose that it doesn't make any difference to me because I have to work Saturday anyway. If there is a launch after all, I wonder if anyone could pick up one of those AT K550W motor reloads for me and the 38/1080 motor case? I already have the closures that I need and would like to take advantage of the before the end of the year discount being offered by Chad. I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a motor reload today.
