We have a launch scheduled for next weekend at the launch site in Forsyth. It will be on Saturday, November 14, with Sunday the 15th as a rain date. At the moment Saturday is looking like it might

I've attached a couple of google earth views of my Rocket Launch yesterday with the Indiana club. I flew blues clues to ~3000ft on an I140, the rocket cocked a bit at launch resulting in a 1mile

I have H100's and H219's. When they first came out with the DMS motors, AeroTech sent me a bunch of the delay tools, so, the first one's free. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Very good point! Maybe I’ll hit it with flat red paint. So I think all I have to do now is bring the high power certification application pre filled out on my portion and come up with a 38mm L1

Excellent point. I'm not sure primer gray would be any better. At least paint it primer white or fluorescent green or orange.

Hi Everyone, good info being discussed. I attended on Friday. Better weather for me since I do LPR and MPR. Seen some awesome rockets/flights. Seen lots of sparkies up until they banned them
