Considering L3

[SCOTT EVANS]

I was thinking. Considering, to fly High power in September, I would have to repair something or build something new. Maybe I should build something with a small “m”.
See the small “m” 😉
Can I cross my Level 2 over from NAR to Tripoli. And do it through Tripoli? Or should I do it through NAR.

Hi Scott,

If you were to join Tripoli now, they would honor your NAR certs and then you could do L3 whichever way you wanted.

I am already a member. Just havent called them about my L2 at NAR.

Absolutely, Scott. Both organizations accept each others certs. Join TRA now as a Level 2, then cert Level 3 through either NAR or TRA. Whichever one you use, just contact the other one with the info, and they’ll bump you up after you cert L3.

I emailed Tripoli. Then mailed in My membership fees. They
confirmed My cert with NAR and sent a membership card with
that level. It only took 7 to 10 days.

Great friendly people.

My opinion: I went to Tripoli also because. I can get more
flying done in this area being both. Plus I think a lot of the
larger projects tend to lean towards Tripoli and the “Research
Launches” NAR and Tripoli ar High Power. But around here
Tripoli is High Power X2

It will take a few reloads out of My pocket but. I plan on keeping
My membership to both, active. Both need all the members that
can be mustered.

Oh……. Was I supose to be L2 Tripoli to fly this weekend?
Didnt think of that.
Guess I was sponcered. Thanks Ed. 😕
Since I am a paid up member, I will call them.

Glad to have helped, Scott.

Considering L3? I’d go ahead and do that if I were you. TAPS are listed on the TRA web page, buried in the documents section a few clicks deep – try – http://www.tripoli.org/cert/tap.shtml Otherwise, Colorado is blessed with several local and active TAPS – James Russell, Art Hoag, Bruce Lee, Conway Stevens, John Wilke (not so local anymore but wanting to move back from exile in Iowa), and some not so active -Alan McBride, Ed Krohne and Dr. Pat Artis. Actually, now that I think about it, I remember Conway stepped back because of health reasons. ANyway, all great people and easy to work with. Start documenting ideas and plans. Directions can be found here – http://www.tripoli.org/cert/howto_level3.shtml – on what to do once TRA has recognized your NAR L2. Write to HQ (Deb and KevinTrojanowski) and send them a copy of your NAR card. And if you’d like, send some flowers and a little extra cash and they’ll send you a new card, and if you really want it , for a few bucks more, they’ll send you a new card with your preferred rocket shot on it. Personalized service with a smile.

Scott,
Add Ham license to that list of things to do….. You and Jeremiah need to get it done…… I got him the book a few weeks ago, I can pick one up for you as well, they run about $25. I’m only a few miles from HRO in Denver….

PS, I’m working with James on my L3……

Don’t forget that when someone is prepping a big rocket, introduce yourself if able without interrupting the process, help out if asked, and watch from a respectable distance. The reason for keeping your distance is that people getting ready to fly the big ones are really focusing and may not be as receptive to questions as usual (put yourself in their place), just feel out the situation. We all learn from mistakes, both ours and others, and by watching to see how different people do things. If you’re lucky you might be asked to help them take it out to the pad. 😉
