Hey everyone, I know this sounds like a basic question, but I am not having much luck with my google-fu.

How is the level 2 HPR administered? Do I request a copy of the test from the NAR, take the test and send it back to them?

Thanks,

Andy

Tripoli (and NAR) have guidelines and rules for construction materials. Tripoli published this additional letter detailing the use of metals: http://www.tripoli.org/Portals/1/Documents/Safety%20Code/Metal%20in%20Rocket%20Construction%20v2.0.pdf

thanks! yeah I am planning on coming out to a launch sometime this summer, for the certification do the airframes and motors have to be bought or can they be manufactured?

I’m certainly not the best person to address all of your questions. So hopefully others will also respond.

My advice is that you to use our range as a safe place to static fire any motors, we have the area and appropriate permits. Generally speaking, Sunday launch dates are designated for research days. The club likely has some of the ne…[Read more]

Hello, I am new to the game of rocketry so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I have spent the last few days reading up on laws and such that are required to build rocket engines and it is a little vague. I am a Chemistry student at UCCS and I am planning on building a hybrid rocket engine. As of now, I have no plans on actually launching the…[Read more]

I was running out of room in the menubar area, so I had to collapse it, and changed the way it looks quite a bit.

Brad Morse started the topic Clustered and Multi-stage Flights in the forum Flight Logs 2 months ago

The new system handles clustered and multi-staged flights.

An “equivalent impulse” will be computed at entry time and displayed on the flight record.

The bonfire calculation will be the sum of the mass for each motor.

Here is an example:

Here is a screenshot of the admin screen for managing the launch events.

From here you can create new launch events, and enter flights.

The “My Rockets” page is meant to display the rockets associated with the currently logged in user, if that user is also a known flyer in the Club’s flight log system.

Please Note:

If you are a flyer with the club, and you have a login to the website, but the page does not work for you, or you don’t have the “My Flights”, “My Rockets”, and “My…[Read more]

In addition, this implementation handles staged and clustered flights.

In the new version (targeted to be released July 2019), a multi-motor flight will display like this:

Jeffrey Joe Hinton started the topic North Site Delay in the forum General Discussion 2 months, 3 weeks ago

Members and Friends,

Sad but true. As we had feared, we have not received our FAA waiver for our launches scheduled for April 6/7 and are forced to postpone the launch. This delay appears to be caused by a backlog of work caused by the federal government shutdown that occurred earlier this year. We have been concerned that this may be the case…[Read more]
