Jeffrey Joe Hinton started the topic NO GO for Oktoberfest in the forum News & Events 3 weeks, 6 days ago

It’s been decided – NO GO for OKTOBERFEST. This was the prudent and responsible thing to do, given the vegetative conditions and lack of precipitation affecting our spot on the prairie. Discussion of moving the November launch to the Atlas site has already started but it’s really dry and crispy there as well. Time to start the rain dances in…[Read more]

The Ranger says Plan to go ahead with your launch on Saturday and Sunday, August 3 and 4. The humidity looks like it will remain up the rest of the month. We have received some precipitation, but there are a lot of cured annual grasses out there. We’ve had two fires in the last couple of weeks. Neither grew very large, but there are areas that wi…[Read more]

I’m going to try to attend Oktoberfest again this year. Hopefully the weather will cooperate more than last year. I’m not sure if I’ll try the drag race but I hope to bring the camera set up. Would anyone like for me to film their launch? Here is one of the Swiss teams I recorded at SAC last month https://vimeo.com/343565864

Some of you might find it interesting to see accelerometer data from a high-speed failure

When a flew a minimum-diameter rocket on a J420 with a scratch-built nosecone on Sunday morning, the nosecone failed right around burnout. The front end of the nosecone broke off and took my apogee deployment charge with it. The apogee charge was there to…[Read more]

Hi all. I have been using my DC30 collar for some time. As usual never needed it when it was installed.

But anyway. I, in most cases have left the collar intact and attached it to my shock cord below my nose

cone. (Later builds, it is in the cone.) With great luck. The last launch I was at, had a chute tangle

and the collar impacted and broke…[Read more]
