Vic Davis doesn’t disappoint with his “Mary Poppins” umbrella rocket.

No. But much more information to chew on.

Found all I needed in an eight year old post. Pretty cool.

Members and Friends,

Our waiver will be a constant 20,000’ AGL, with “windows of opportunity” for higher altitudes shots on Saturday and Sunday. We anticipate h…[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]

The level 2 exam can be administered at the launch site. Give Joe Hinton a heads-up prior to the launch.

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?
Brad Morse replied to the topic legality and permits clarification in the forum New to Rocketry 6 years, 5 months ago

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]

Let’s fly some rockets. Tripoli Colorado is GO for launch on Sunday, April 28th. You can stay informed by checking their website at http://www.tripolicolorado.org or Facebook Tripoli-Colorado (public group), or checking your e-mail.

And the District Ranger says NCR may proceed as planned for our Space Race Celebration, subject to the normal prec…[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]
