OK, let's go! The field may or may not dry enough to drive on, so let's assume success and plan that way. We've signed up to take the trailer out. We can...
Okay most everyone already knows but in case you don't here's the formal invitation. Dates: Commercial July 10th Experimental July 11th Waiver: 12,500' MSL ...
I ran into Lou and his family at the last Amarillo launch. They were starting on a road trip to Colorado. I think that they should be back by now... Call him...
We don't have an eyes on look at the field but after the last two days of Sun and wind we are going to go out. Remember that it is from 9 till noon with the...
I'll return the trailer... I will not be at the launch, see you at the meeting. Stu ... From: Jeff Short [mailto:jeffshort2004@...] Sent: Friday, July...
We'll bring it back to Rick's, but it'll be a hassle. Can anyone else do it? Here's why: We drag the trailer to the meeting, then drag it to our house for the...
So, want to switch who's-got-the-trailer at the meeting? Too bad you can't make the launch. Cheers, Peyton ... From: "Stu Barrett" <StuBarrett@...> ...
I will be at another pool party this Saturday, so no AARG stuff for me. Two more weekends of swim meets and I can sleep late on Saturdays and attend launches...
Except for one small issue, my first L1 attempt went off flawlessly. Arriving at the Granger Lake field almost too late to launch, I hustled to the launch line...
Better luck next time Jim. Stu _____ From: Jim Strohm [mailto:jstrohm@...] Sent: Saturday, July 03, 2004 2:09 PM To: rocketry-austin@yahoogroups.com ...
Jim, Please accept my sincere condolences on not getting your L1 today. When you get tired of doing things the hard way, give me a call. I'll sell you a 10", ...
I know this is a controversial topic, but I don't think saucers are appropriate for certification and I will not participate in the certification team for such...
I don't see why saucers shouldn't be used for a certification attempt...it it's allowable under the rules, what's the problem? That's why I like to fly my ...
For a cert flight I like to see competence in HPR techniques including construction, stability determination, and recovery construction and deployment. A...
Alex, I understand your point very well (I've been in model rocketry since 1969), and, no, no hornet nest stirred up here. If saucers can't or shouldn't be...
... Alex didn't say they can't be used. Just that he would not cert someone using one. If someone else wants to that's fine. I feel the same as Alex but if...
I was 0 out of 2 for altimeter flights before today, both were recovered without damage due more to luck than skill. After today I am now 0 for 3. Learning...
I will be introducing a Level 2 flying saucer kit in the near future. It will fly on a variety of 38mm and 54mm motors from H's (H73J) through J's (J480). I...
Jeff, I do have one very true (and possibly frightening) recent story to tell about ejecting engine casings that happened at a launch I know you also...
Howdy, Alex, I largely agree with you, and I'll explain the exception. Until and unless the rules are changed, I think I'd certify a Level 1 flight that was...
Dave, with all due respect, hobby rocketry can be a very dangerous activity. Folks that come to same with babies are "not too smart" IMHO. Stu _____ From:...
Yeah, that's a reasonable approach. I might sign off on a L1 attempt with a saucer IF I knew the candidate and was confident he/she was competent in advanced...
Art, I have nothing against your saucers and other "non-traditional" designs. I just don't think flying one of your kits proves any competence in HPR and thus...
... My near-L1 yesterday had a suitably robust motor retainer and no parachute to be seen, so "it wasn't me." However, this brings into consideration...
