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]

New charts have been added to all of the individual launches.

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]

Good Morning Everyone,

I am interested in attending and eventually participating in some of the launch events.  I am just wondering what to expect some items I should bring etc.  I don’t see much traffic on the boards here, so I am wondering if I am in the right place.  I live in Fort Collins and my son and I are working on our rockets, hoping to…[Read more]

Weather

I’ve made some updates to the flight logs, I cleaned up the html some, and got some reports that show top-30 flyers, motors, and rockets by year.

Take a look:

I’ve still got a lot of work to do on the actual entry form for creating new flight records.

Members and friends,

NCR has a GO for launch Saturday, March 30th only, at the Atlas Site.  The Ranger says NCR can proceed with the March 30th launch as planned but, as usual, that is subject to change. The prairie remains fragile and vulnerable.  Vegetation is dry out there.  Relative humidity is down and ground moisture content is low but if…[Read more]

Hi everyone –

I got something cool working last night and wanted to share.

The source code is here on GitHub https://github.com/ncrclub/flight-logs if you want to contribute, let me know.

Please consider this under development, and these links may not work forever, but to get an idea of some of the things that will be included with the new…[Read more]

Members and Friends,

Our planned Saturday March 9th Atlas launch has been scrubbed.  High winds and the predicted cloud cover equals a common sense approach to winter rules on the Front Range – Mother Nature wins again.

Apologies for the late decision making but really, the weather forecast is not in our favor.

NO GO for Saturday March 9t…[Read more]

NCR Members —

At long last, I’ve gotten a bit of time to work on the launch log system for our club.

Keep in mind, I just got this running over the past few days, and the web pages are terrible.  They will get better over time.

The good news is that I’ve been able to get the historical flight logs back online for everyone.

Here is a link to…[Read more]

Members and Friends,

STOP – NO GO for launch on Saturday, March 2nd.  I spoke at length with the Ranger this afternoon.  We have been instructed to CANCEL our scheduled launch for this weekend.  The crispy vegetation and extremely dry soil conditions have elevated the levels of concern.  And that’s without mentioning the 800 plus acre fire that h…[Read more]

Rocketeers
I am working on the design and implementation of a “train” of 3 parachutes.
“Trained means 3 chutes stacked on top of each other, largest, thru smallests vertically. I have a 36″, a 30″ and a 24″ chutes attached to a common riser.
Like a japanese Pagoda.
I have the riser going thru the center of the bottom chute (36”) thru the center of…[Read more]

Hello all, I just joined and have been looking through the site, but did not find any mention of TRA research launches.  Probably I’m not looking in the right place.  Are all/some/none of the launches research?  I am planning to visit a friend nearby in early March and would like to stop by and burn some APCP.

Best — Terry
