LDRS 31 Lost and Found?

[cwbullet]

A bit annoying. Post a wanted list and stop begging on the other forums.

[GaryT]

People are pist and bummed out that they lost their Rockets, The motor cases aren't even cooled yet and this kids wants to know if he can have them.......

[blackbrandt]

Sorry, just a little excited.

One thing is for certain, I always return a rocket to original owner if I can find them. I am batting 100% at this time.

Sorry, just a little excited.

We know you are. You gotta learn to chill out man. If you spent as much time honing your building skills on LPR kits and scratchers as you do on this forum you'd probably find that when you did have the money to build MPR & HPR rockets that you'd be well-prepared.

Gary's take is how most people are seeing your comments. You're certainly not going to get any help at all from anyone if people think that you're grave-digging.

Have any of the LDRS loss been found?

Fred's GizmoXL is safe and Sound in my living room Drying out. My 11yr old is a master chute un-tangler!

We are returning via usps a Green loc something or another to a gent in Mass.

Also I have a 4in large DD rocket painted red and black. that is a tangle MESS from HELL

and a little yellow PML thingy.

found a Kevin Cuomo's Archer 8 in a tree. I want to get a few more tree stuck rockets before i call in the extraction team.

20 minutes after leaving the field I received a call from a farmer a big WHITE and BLACK Rocket in his Corn field I have high hopes for that one!!
GARY ......

Bill, can you describe your search?

Your efforts are appreciated. ...the Gizmo and heavy motor hardware were meant to get back.
I was just kidding about the "Beef on Weck" (well..maybe not..) I spent time in Buffalo and Rochester.(Darian lake)

[cwbullet]

I am always glad to see good news. I have been on the other side and have 2 big ones missing in action.

[jsargevt]

Awesome work getting rockets back to the owners.

Well the farmer who's field we fly in has his migrant work force walking up and down the rows pulling weeds from the crops. that make for a fairly good search. I walked the corn yesterday from the pads to gully, did a tree top scan for tree bound rockets around the field and in what we call scruff and found zip. I also created a lost and found flyer with my phone number and the email address on it offering rewards for the Larger ones. those were hand delivered to the local farmers who have kids and put in mailboxes up west swamp road and hung one in Smugglers corner (Shannon has been quite helpful in alerting the locals) I have contacted a tree recovery crew they want $30 an hour, they live 1.5 hrs away and would like to have more than one rocket to snatch out before making the trip. so far we have 1 Confirmed stuck in a tree.

Well, I just got back to chicago yesterday. I want to thank the landowners for being extremely helpful in returning rockets. I got a call yesterday from the landowner at 1270 East Swamp Rd, he had found my rocket "Carbon Nightmare 2.5". I couldn't thank him enough and will be sure to give him some sort of small reward. My Grandmother lives in that area and will be picking it up tomorrow.

Writing your Name and Phone Number on your rocket is the BEST Idea

Someone mentioned what we are going to do with unclaimed found rockets.
Next year we will have an auction of sorts with the proceeds used to purchase RTF mod-rocks and motors for out outreach programs!

First and foremost, all found rockets will be given the absolute best effort to get back to the original owner. No rockets will be given to someone who just wants them because the original owner didn't claim his or her rocket. After one year we will auction off any found rockets at our next Muck fest in July, 2013. Same with various parts too. All proceeds will go into the host Clubs bank account to be used to promote this great and safe family hobby. This way if you didn't claim your rocket, it and the proceeds gained from auctioning it off will be put to a good rocketry use.

Great news Bill and thanks a bunch to you, your club, and your daughter. I have a brand new Aerotech Barracuda kit with your daughters name on it and a donation for your club "Out-Reach" program. You have my email address---please send me your snail mail address.

Also a special shout out to the farmers and there crews for taking the time to return our rockets and stuff...

Have you found anymore in the trees?

[Rich Pitzeruse]

Has the corn been harvested yet? I imagine my Fatboy will get tangled in the combine harvester at some point.

Wait - I thought you retired from rocketry?

[H_Rocket]

I think Rich quit quitting rocketry.

[loopy]

I think Rich quit quitting rocketry.

Ah...that would explain it...

[Rich Pitzeruse]

I've been quitting rocketry for 15 years! I'm apparently not very good at it.

[Rich Pitzeruse]

Any update on the corn situation? Has it been cut yet? Any farmers cussing as they pull rockets tangled up in the combine?

Rich, Last I heard the crops have been harvested. They also said hunters are setting up their blinds so the more people in the woods the better!

Reposting for the URRG BOD.

Search party on Dec 15

Hi all, in the wake of LDRS we still have quite a few missing BFR's in the woods on the northern side of the field and behind the town of Potter. We are hoping to get a search party together to spend an hour or 2 (Trust me this should not take long the leaves have fallen) we just need to walk threw. If there is anyone from Buffalo wanting to help but not drive contact Bill Clune at 716-444-8000 we can carpool. Afterwards we can get together for lunch at Smugglers and Shoot the breeze.
If you have a handheld GPS that can take way points please bring it. Bill Clune has a Magellan but has no clue how to use it.


Hope to see you all Soon

When are you thinking about doing this?
