This weekend should have good breaks in the weather for HP flying. I just finished securing our NOTAM for this launch week. Weather permitting we have ground to 12,000 Saturday through Friday from 1400 to 2200z (10am to 6pm), although I expect flying will end around 5pm daily. That being said...

I wouldn't worry about drag using rail buttons/guides and launching from a rail vs what a lug on a 1/2 inch rod offers. I am converting even my older MP and LP kits to mini/micro buttons and rail use. Rails offer more predictable initial flight trajectories. Besides, between the two, buttons...

Actually the whining here is pretty good also! Nice report JD. It was great seeing you two again! After reading the concerns about “ankle high grass” two things immediately come to mind. The first is the individual apparently hasn’t been to many large launches as he would have a different...

OK, so a few comments. 1) This year most of the US has been the victim of challenging weather. Having seen quite a few wet springs over the course of my lifetime, this was clearly one of the worst, if not the worst we have had to deal with in the WNY and Fingerlakes areas of NY state. There are...

Amen to your tag line! :) We even added extra tables, but we still sold out. Often times someone will have a last minute conflict and be unable to attend, so you may get an opportunity that day.. You might consider posting your request on Facebook on the NSL or MARS club pages..

I don't think most folks are aware the club made a decision to lose money on every banquet ticket sold, hoping to offset the losses elsewhere, so folks could enjoy an excellent buffet at a reasonable price.

Folks sorry to weigh in so late, but I haven't had an opportunity to check into TRF for quite some time due to work commitments. Evan and our LD, MaryBeth have kept you all fully informed. I want to expand on one item - rail buttons. For those that don't want to add them to their mid power...

Done also, and very interested in both projects, especially the active stabilization! :)

I have win 10 on my new laptop (no choice), my main pc (hard drive failed and I figured it was time to go with 10 based on how well the laptop was working, otherwise I would have stayed with 7), and finally on my wife's machine (she had 8.1 which she hated so I upgraded). Actually did pretty...

That's a great idea Dave! :) I will just have to plan on that going forward! Greg

Thanks for participating with us during NYPOWER 20 Glenn! It was great seeing so many folks taking advantage of the good weather and our grassy field during the holiday weekend. We are looking forward to maintaining the momentum, and continuing to grow the event. :) Greg

Thanks to all our vendors, all of our fliers, and all of our volunteers who helped make this event one of the most successful NYPOWERS in its 20 year history! :) Even the weather co-operated with lots of sun for all 3 days of the event, with the sole exception of some wind, and rain that cut our...

Here is a picture that will give viewers a better perspective of the size of the rocket

There are plenty of us to assist you with your L2 cert flight Mike. Get that rocket ready to fly! :) Greg

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...

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

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. ;) Greg

... and we look forward to seeing you again, as always, Teddy! A great field, expected great flying weather, great food, fun activities, and most importantly great friends, who can ask for anything more? :) Greg

You do now Tim...We'll expect to see you in Geneseo. ;) We have also upgraded our launch system with several of our new sector boxes to be completed and rolled out for this launch. They will eliminate the need for pad boxes going forward. See you in Geneseo! Greg

Mine would be that too Dave! ;) Greg
