NYPOWER GENESEO NY MAY 28-30, 2016

Can we still register online?

I'm wondering the same thing. I believe you can. I was browsing the website and it seems all you need to do is log in and pay the range fee.
It looks like you could just show up and register on site as well. I'm sure someone who's been there before can confirm that..

I plan on attending. I made sure to get that Monday off (we normally have to work that day here in Canada).

If all goes well, I'll get my L1 there. If all goes well...

I'm hoping to have the written part of my L2 exam done the weekend before at the joint CMASS/MMMSC launch in Berwick Me. Then do my L2 cert flight in Genesco. Fingers are crossed...

I am sure it will Chris! Remember the key is to first think, then plan, and then do, in that order... There will be plenty of us available to assist with L1 - L3 certs, part of which includes helping with any pre-cert jitters that might occur.

Mike, if you aren't able to get your L2 written done at CMASS, let us know. We can have it for you at NYPOWER, no problem.

Greg, thanks for the offer, that may just happen. I'm prepared for the flight. I just need to do some heavy studying for the written, I may need the extra week.

Oh boy I was always terrible at tests... :-(
Level 1 first! My kids are even getting excited, maybe one of them can take the test for me

I made a quizlet for this: https://quizlet.com/45294390/nar-level-2-exam-question-pool-flash-cards/

Get the quizlet app on your phone and run through it in your spare moments. In a week you'll get to where you know the answer to every question by heart and mostly have to be careful to read all the way through to avoid accidentally answering the wrong question.

Don't worry there is no written part for L1 certification. You only need to fly you rocket on a H or I and recover it intact.

Good luck on your L1, welcome to bigger and better!

Ordered mine a couple days ago. I can only be there on Sunday and probably won't have anything to launch (since I'm flying in from NM). But, I at least want to have a 20th anniversary t-shirt! I never imaged the NYPOWER launches would go on this many years when I coined the name in the early 90's. Lots of hard work by 'generations' of MARS volunteers to keep it going. Thank you!

John, I will look forward to finally meeting you.

You will find a completely updated launch system, with all of the latest safety components in place for this launch, with further changes being rolled out later this summer.

Our field layout has been revised, allowing better visibilty of all the launches..

We have seen a large increase in flier registrations and T shirt sales, more than we had expected, so this is going to be one great event!

Maybe it's due to the new ideas and approaches the committee has come up with this year, the special events, etc. Maybe because it's our 20th....

Regardless it's going to be a fun event, with folks from across the US and Canada getting together to fly their rockets hassle free.

The National Warplane Museum will be open for fliers and visitors alike.

The BBQ dinner, the auction, and the night flights all will add some special fun on Saturday.

See you then!

Greg

There is still time for you to hit missile park and give the Athena a once-over with a tape measure...

Two examples of why I never doubted Karma is real. ;-)

Looking to pickup a looooong out of production rocket kit? At NYPOWER on Saturday we will be holding an auction of a LOT of classic kits and Motors! A local legend passed away and his wife donated his collection, MANY unopened boxes and some perfectly built ones as well.

NYPOWER this year will be a great time.

Now it would be perfect if I could fly the King Viper there. Sadly (and I understand why), there are no HPR clusters allowed.

The Rumors of the FULL SCALE PATRIOT at NYPOWER are TRUE!

A FULL Scale Patriot to be flown as a tribute to the late Great Paul Robinson at NYPOWER Memorial weekend! More Details here:

Wow are there ever some absolutely amazing flights planned for NY Power this year...
Man is this gonna be some launch...
I can't wait for this one fer sure...

Teddy

Here are some photos from the first launch in 2010 at LDRS in Lucerne, CA.

I kept the 'remains' for 5 years in NM and gave them to Robert DeHate when he passed through last year. I hear that lots of improvements were made. I will be there to help with the launch prep again this year at Geneseo.

I know I am getting excited!

I got word yesterday that the field has been mowed!!! Whoot Whoot!!!

NYPOWER in May..... Walking barefoot in the lush green carpeted grass and blooming dandelions while peacefully listening to the chirping swallows and catching a whiff of lilacs and three legged pig barbeque....then a friggin loud screaming rocket motor bangs the ears and shakes the ground. Heaven on earth.
