Clearly Experimental BP motors are disallowed, but maybe commercial BP motors are o.k?

Mike,
For local LPR needs, you should check out the field in Longmont, by the Sandstone Ranch ballfields complex. Let me know and I can send you a liability waiver form to keep the property owner happy. Lots of space, and nice soft plowed dirt. Probably some tall weeds right now.

No BP motors. The Estes pads will not be set up this time around. As JW said, it is for insurance reasons. If you were planning on flying Estes or BP motors then they will have to wait.
Even if you don’t have anything to fly, come out and watch, lots of big shots will fly this weekend.

Mike,
Our Church has 20 acres – long track in Broomfield off 144th and Zuni. Jeremiah and I launch there from time to time. You are welcome to use it. We have lost a few birds, but that was due to too large of a chute and the owner not knowing better. We have hosted an all Church launch and it works really well for about everything. I’ve done around 1100′ on an E9-6 in an Eliminator.(Imagine the big announcer voice)

Well, I’m there. Art, make some room in the camper! I’ll bring my Gray Ghost so I can get a consensus on the fins.

That would be great, please send it to me and some directions on how to get there. How do I give it to the farmer?
As much as I regret it, 🙁 as I want to see John Wilkes’ bird fly, I just have too much to do to get ready for NARAM-50 to take the time to go up to Pawnee.
I just found out that I’m showing 5th overall (out of 217) in the NAR national point standings in the C division. Russ Anthony from CRASH is in 2nd overall. He says if I do well at nationals I could end up at least 4th for the year. That what I was as a 13 year old in 1960 after NARAM-3. How cool would that be? 😀
In the club points standings, NCR is currently 17th out of 40 clubs. Again, If I do well that should move us up in the overall as well. Yay!

VERY nice work, Mike! 😉 Still can’t believe those Louisville thermals… 😯

So are a lot of people camping out? I thought I had since a post/article about whats available at the location, but now I can’t find it. Could someone point me in the right direction?
I might end up staying overnight at least.Murdock
