Oh you might be surprised!

Granted I travel around a lot to fields with higher waivers, but that's in the summer. Over the winter most of my flying is at home field in O'burg. Waiver is 10,000 with mostly sod. So I fly a lot of my little stuff, that I don't take on the road with me.
Besides it sure is a lot of fun just sticking motors in a rocket, using motor deploy. I can fly 3-4 of them in the same amount of time it takes to set up DD.

So it might be awhile before you see anything larger than a J... I got a lot of F's & G's during BSS to fly!

Plus a couple of fun Proto-types been working on for above stash...LOL

Oops forgot I flew the BlackHawk on a I-161. 3 flights Sat... 2- Sunday.

Oh interesting; for quite a few of us Californians the threat is fire so winter and rain signifies the start of high power season rather than the end.

Don't forget to copy the last (or most recent) version of the list. TopRamen's score got bumped back down again...

I was hoping to make up some ground on SC with a flurry of Es and Fs but only managed one due to fog, and a pair of Estes flights. I bet he squeezed in more than that!

I was hoping my new tally would be 3x what it is, but was only able to make one flight yesterday.
Should I include my boys' flights in my stats (or add them in as team "SLBB")

I'd say team SLBB.

An F20-4W and a G250 at moffett. I had a G78G and cluster flight planned but ran out of time due to fog delaying the launch.

Fired off an igniter. With all the flashbulbs I have been testing... I may be at 0.2... :p

Added my boys as "Team SLBB". They flew 2 A8-3 motors yesterday. (Sorry, I'm not calculating percentages)
 
What are these percentages????

A full M is 10240Ns. However, M class starts after 5120Ns (full L)
Using the CBPS example above, (6095.2-5120)/5120 = 0.19046875 (19.05%)

Particularly in the larger motor ranges, some like to know where they stand within the range.

SEVRA Member Jeff Goldstein wrote an Android App to calculate Class percentage. It can be <downloaded from here>

I use the following spreadsheet formula:
=CONCATENATE(ROUND(((N22 - (2.5 * (2 ^ O23))) / (2.5 * (2 ^ O23))) * 100, 2), "% ", CHAR(66 + O23), "-Motor")
Where Cell N22 is the Ns value (or sum) and Cell O23 is =FLOOR(LOG(N22 / 2.5) / LOG(2))

An A is 2.5Ns. Each letter is double the Ns. So each letter is (2.5 * (2^x)) Ns where x is the count of the letter. Inversing that, the count of the letter is calculated in Cell O23.

The downside of this formula is that a Full motor is output as 0% of the next higher motor. You could easily break the Concatenate parts into separate Cells, wrap it in an =IF() and make 100% report itself properly. That exceeds my needs, so it wasn't efficient for me to do so.

Though Estes A8s are 2.3Ns - what's 0.4Ns among friends?!
 
I'm thinking few are going to want to do the motor percentage calc to update their entries each time. Even moving the entry to the proper spot in the ranking and resetting the font to courier is a bit of a pain that may get old and discourage participation over time.

Is the ranking necessary? My thought is that it adds to the perception of a contest, not a community effort, and adds work to the process. If we had a table with a column for names and one for Ns, it would eliminate the need for courier, and if we just left the order alphabetical (or random), it would save on maintaining the ranking. You could just add your updated total and be done.

I agree with Thirsty about the percentages. It's too much of a hassle, perhaps if someone wants to do this at the end of the year when all is said and done, that'd be OK. Besides, what would happen to the % if I were to launch an H motor next. Too much confusion.

I personally like the "rankings". It's not a competition, but it could be a motivator (and it looks cleaner to me). I do wish that there'd be a way that could maintain the courier new font w/o additional effort, but I'm ok with fixing it.

Hassle? It took me all of about 15 minutes to add them.

If anyone wants theirs added, PM me and I'll send you the percentage. That way, it'll be up to the individual rather than one person wiping them all out.

That sounds like a good solution.
 

huh, I just noticed something. The thrustcurve.org page links back to the same NAR pdf data sheets as the nar.org page I used, however the links (and info) on the nar page for the quest and estes a8s are swapped... I'm going to revise team SLBB's numbers. (And look more closely at the source data on the NAR page before I calculate any more impulses. :)
