Whats wrong.
Got somthin against my thread? 😥
Scott since you started the thread you can go to the first post, hit edit and change the subject title of the thread to something like “Volunteer Ideas – making events fun for everyone” Only you can do it (you are SO important!)
Saturday’s launch logs barely fit into the box. I’m looking forward to finding out what the total tally was.
Thanks everyone, for their patience as I learned the ropes on LCO late Saturday afternoon. (Especially when I pushed the wrong button). When it was really busy as LCO I didn’t have time to assign people to pads, but Mike Konshack as RSO did a good job assigning pads and filling up the clips with the flight cards and safety checking. All I had to do was announce, shoot, and watch to make sure that each flight wasn’t going to land on someone.
I agree that the extra HPR pads on range right probably would have been better on range left, since there was usually a mismatch in the amount of prep time required at the pads between the HPR rockets and the Estes ones.
Hold those thoughts and suggestions until we can better implement them next time. I’ve always been a next time instead of what if type of flier and it makes the same amount of sense to apply that logic to the next launch or next big event. Speaking of which, get ready for the Pawnee Pioneer Open. We’ll need timers and fliers and watchers and ooh-aahers to celebrate the possibilities of low powered duration flights. Of course, the range will be opened to all classes and levels of power on Saturday and Sunday will still be a TRA Research launch but get ready now for then. We’re still looking for a volunteer chef to take on the task of feeding the assembled for the semi annual meeting. NCR will pay for the food but we’re looking for a grillmaster, catering coordinator etcetera. Reply privately at president@ncrocketry.org Thanks.
That’s EXACTLY it! – We need to plan for next time and we need to start looking at next time…right now! Excellent thoughts Joe.

Hey, guys, it’s the perfect time since it’s a club meeting after the launch. Joe, as it stands now, I’ll sign the NAR people in and check out their rockets, keep track of the timers, etc.
We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
