NARAM-65 will be held August 3 through 9, 2024. The location will be the Hudson Ranch site which supported NSL 2013, NARAMs -52, -56 and -60. Waiver to 12K feet AGL. I won't list the NRC events to be flown as they have already been posted. The additional events will be: C Superroc Duration...

There does not seem to be any coverage of NARAM-64 so I will post my comments from the event so far. Unlike past NARAMs this event is only four days. This isn't big deal for Sport Range flyers but Competition event flyers must fly the events on their assigned days as there is no make-up time...

Who participated in any of the Estes tours prior to NSL 2023 West and what was it like?

The Enerjet E24C and F67C motors have been available for about a month. Has anyone flown either of these two motors and what was your impression? Due to a combination of work scheduling, weather and launch site unavailability I have not had a chance to fly either of these new motor types. :(...

AC Supply now carries Quest products. :clapping: About a 30% discount off of SRP. Quest Q-Jet 'E' and (Coming Soon) 'F' motors do not require Hazmat fee and there is free shipping on order over $100. Good News. https://www.acsupplyco.com/estes-model-rockets/composite-rocket-motors

Estes has posted their Cyber Monday sale information on their website. It is 20% off all products (Except the Falcon 9).

No sooner than I get my hands on the new Quest E35 Q-Jet motors than a box arrives with the F41 Q-Jet motors. :cool: This is a 24mm x 95mm motor (Same as an Estes E12) but the F41 is a 45 N-sec total impulse motor. Sold in a two-pack with -5, -8 & -11 second delays utilizing White Lightning...

The Quest Q-Jet E35 motor will soon be available. This is a 24mm x 95mm motor (Same as an Estes E12) but the E35 is a FULL 40 N-sec total impulse. This is the only current single-use 'E' motor that is full impulse. The AeroTech E20 and E30 motors have had a decrease in performance due to...

AeroTech, through it's Enerjet subsidiary, will soon be releasing an an 'E24' motor. To quote Gary Rosenfield, "We will soon have Enerjet Classic E24s certified and available". I don't have any more information at this time. One day at NARAM-48 Gary and I were having lunch and I started...

As the title says, any news from NARAM-63?

The Estes website ( https://estesrockets.com/ ) has been updated with new pricing on all the products. While I have not reviewed every item, it appears there has been a ten percent increase in Suggested Retail Price (SRP). Several of the on-line vendors (AC Supply for one) have already raised...

I received my September/October 2021 issue of Sport Rocketry magazine today. The inside front cover has an ad for the Universal Astrocam. This product was mentioned during the NARAM-62 Manufacturers' Forum. It consists of the Astrocam camera and a mounting unit to fit different size rockets...

News from NARAM-62 is pretty scarce. Can anyone report what was discussed at the Manufacturers' Forum Monday night?

I just received my July/August 2021 issue of Sport Rocketry magazine. The inside cover has a new Estes ad featuring the Super Mars Snooper, DARC-1 and a new kit named Vesta Intruder (#7312). It uses 24mm motors and stands over two feet tall. Hopefully more details will be available soon.

Another new motor I was able to fly at the just concluded NSL was the Quest D22 motor. These 24mm x 70mm White Lightning propellant motors have more total impulse yet have less mass than a black powder D12 motor and sell for the same SRP. I used my Quest Big Dog kit with a 24/29 motor adapter...

Just before the NSL Quest received TRA certification of their new B6 White Lightning motors. These are standard 18mm x 70mm motors available with -4 and -6 second delays. 4.865N total impulse. These motors will be available later this year. For some of us attending the just completed NSL in...

I received my Jan/Feb 2021 issue of Sport Rocketry Magazine today. Inside the front cover was a new ad from Estes featuring the Astrocam and the Der Big Red Max kit. The Astrocam product number in this ad is different than the already released Astrocam launch set. Perhaps this is a...

The NAR posted yesterday that NARAM-62 is being postponed until 2021: "NARAM 62 Update: The COVID-19 pandemic creates significant uncertainty associated with holding our planned summer events. Therefore, the NAR is postponing NARAM 62 and will hold it in 2021." This year's NSL is still on...
