NERRF6 -- June 25, 26, 27 -- Pine Island, NY

[JAllen]

For those who care, I confirmed today that Kevin O'Classen and his Monotube Hybrid setup will be there. I am also bringing 10# of NOx for the party.

Awesome,

Now I just need to source some NOx myself....

[jflis]

So it's looking like I may make the trip up to NERRF this year. If I go, it'll be a last minute thing, so I won't have any big projects. I'll be flying my PML Tethys and Phobos on H's and I's. I'll also be flying my G3 on whatever J's I can pick up at the field. I'd like to try either the J1299, or the J1999.

Nick,

You had darned well better stop by our booth!

[H_Rocket]

Awesome,

Unless you are doing some big honkin fills, you can mooch off me. If you feel guilty, you can buy me a hot dog for lunch from Nadine's

I have about 10# left of medical grade. You could have used some at RG8.

Nick,

If I can make it, you can be sure I'll stop by. I don't know if I'm going to make it though. It might not be in the budget.

Nick hope you can make it. It was nice meeting you at RG8.

You gas passer please setup down wind of me.....

We need to burn the Nitrous Plus on the field and save your stuff for the post launch party....

[patelldp]

I will be there, most likely for at least 2 days (Friday-Saturday). Plans as of right now are my 3" Generic Rocket on a 54-800 Orange J375, 54-1750 K800 Blue. Also my Rocket Formerly Known as Onyx on several small motors, namely some Kosdon E40F's, a G71R, and a few 29-2g motors (I know I have at least one G55 Everclear). Pretty small affair for me.

[H_Rocket]

Dan - Do you have a Kosdon 29-150 motor that I could mooch?

I'm planning to maybe fly my 54mm Skyripper 1120cc once or twice. I'm not quite sure how much NOx that translates into in terms of weight.

[patelldp]

Dan - Do you have a Kosdon 29-150 motor that I could mooch?

I wish. I have been thinking about cloning all of the cases so that I can then fly either Kosdon or EX loads at METRA launches...

[Tetrahedron]

And be aware that to join METRA you must already be a NAR or TRA member. So if you are none of the above, figure $62 to join NAR, $30 to join METRA, plus the $10 flyer fee for NERRF= $102.

Glenn

No, you only need to be a NAR/TRA member if you want to fly HPR.
We need to see some kind of proof that a person is capable of flying a
rocket with a specific motor. Otherwise you can only fly up to G.

THX, John

[Tetrahedron]

The bros and I will be there as well!!

Just curious why the addition of becoming a METRA member this year?


Cant wait!

Matt

This is METRA policy for anyone who wants to fly at this field, period.

THX, John

I was asked to report that the METRA sod fields we fly off have been harvested. We will be flying off the black dirt. [ not turned ]

As a result we will not be able to fly sparkies at NERRF 6.

Just in case you are not familiar with the METRA field , the soil is flamable, without sod to protect the black dirt, the black dirt can catch fire and takes a major effort to put out. We experienced this at NERRF 1 after a sparky load flew towards the end of the day.

Please plan accordingly.

NERRF 6 BBQ registration is OPEN.

Please visit www.nerrf.org and sign up today.

[dgreenapple]

For the safety of the large crowds that come to NERRF, we're going to limit the total impulse to "M" for NERRF.

We recommend that if you are flying a big rocket with an "M" load or a complex load that totals to "M", that you register on the NERRF website in advance so we know about your flight and can work with you wherever possible.

Remember -- "M" Total Impulse Limit at NERRF

It seems that I'll be going for my level 2 certification at NERRF this year (with NAR). Two questions about that:

First, does METRA, or any other participating club, have the NAR level 2 tests available? Or do I have to do something special to get one of these, to take on-site.

Second, I need to find myself a certification team. If you'd be willing to help me out Saturday afternoon with test administration and signing off on the flight, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

-Joe

[Mike Di Venti]

Hi,
First contact Gene Costanza @ level3@nyc.rr.com
Tell him what you want to do. He will be able to help.
Please , make sure you bring the filled out cert. form with you. Bring your NAR card also.
I can help also with being a witness to the flight and sign.
Good luck.

[GaryT]

With NERRF 6 only a little over a week and a half away there are still a ton of volunteer spots open. Remember this is your launch and unless we can fill these slots the launch will come to a screeching halt. So please do your share and sign up. NERRF 6 VOLUNTEER SIGN UP.

[dgreenapple]

NERRF6 Pre-Registration on the Web Site will close on Friday June 18th at 5:00 PM. After that time, you will have to register at the field. Registration will then go up from $10 to $15.

See you at NERRF!!!!!

[dgreenapple]

NERRF Registration is now closed. See you at the field Friday.

Weather predictions look pretty good right now for Friday and Saturday. Sunday's got T-Storms, but how accurate is a week's in advance?!

We'll see you there and we'll fly!!!!

[dgreenapple]

Joe

In answer to both your questions below -- YES! There will be tests, there will be people who want to help and the NAR L3CC's have been given advance notice of L2 Cert interest... See you there.
