Updated weather report: Here is a message from the Launch Coordinator: I am out there for the night as is my custom, the field is very dry, rain chances are...
BTW.. I attended and did a maiden test flight of my 29mm/HPR modified HoJo with my old NCR F62.. and it went perfect! Beautiful ascent, ejection and recovery...
Hey Tom, Great to hear your flight went well. It's a great feeling when all that work pays off once you get the flight up and back. I would have liked to have...

... This is a non-certified motor and as such was not allowed to fly at our launch. It was a mistake on the RSO's part. I would also request that you not try...
... Oh sorry.. That was the highest thrust motor that I had, the original MPR motor that my wife bought for me years ago for my Bomark Maxi that I still have...
... Well that was the first video I just posted... http://theweeks.org/tmp/dscf0008_msmpeg4v2.avi ... Yeah.. this thing is using a LOC BT80, yeah.. it's snug....
I finally found the codec that I needed to use to let Windows people view my videos without them having to install the full mpeg4 codec. I reencoded all my...
Tom, The video clips work great for me, both from the previous HCR launch and the AARG launch on Monday. So what are you using to shoot the video? -Edward ...
Tom, I am afraid Jeff is correct; the NCR F62 motor expired at the end of either last year or Dec 2004. Anyway, if you are ever in doubt as to a motors...
I understand it was a mistake. It's over and everything worked out OK. The real mistake was made by the RSO, but there are so many motors out there it is hard...
... Yeah.. I think I even wrote NCR F62 on the flight form. ... Well, for the benefit of myself and others reading this, is there a master list of decertified...
... Just my little point and shoot 6Mp photo camera: http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/fuji_e550.html I didn't think that I would be using it to...
Sorry, Art did not mean to overlook this message. I think it was a glitch in the system. I re-did the calendar last year and this is the first time I have seen...
Art A. states the Meek Ranch site can handle up to and including “J” impulse, but since I have not flown there yet, I don’t know for certain if I would...
Tom, I apologize for not answering sooner. I don't check this group (sars_rocketry) very often. The Meek Ranch has a recovery area in excess of 2000 feet in...
Art, If you only have 2000' of recovery area, doesn't that limit you to 4000' of altitude? Both the NAR and Tripoli safety codes require that the launch site...
Just to close this issue completely - I was wrong in how to read the code. In this case they are talking about diameter not radius. So Art was completely...
Well my first MP HoJO launch illustrated that I needed a longer ejection cord (since the backlash from the 12oz nosecode actually did a little damage to the...
I have found the folks at Giant leap very helpful. I would suggest asking them. Jeff ... ejection cord ... damage to ... fit ... it's core ... tubing! ... ...
... I did. They said that you can't use epoxy on it as it makes it brittle. Kent from GLR recommends just tying a big knot on the end and slipping that into a...

Tweeks, That Kevlar bungee looks like bigtime overkill! Save it for a larger project. Use 3/8" sewing elastic, 8ft on the airframe, and another 3ft on the ...
... Yeah.. The kevlar bungee looked way cool on line.. but then when I got it in hand I realized that my eyes were bigger than my rocket. :) hehe But even...
