I have some research photo's I took of both AGM-65 Mavericks that were at The AirForce Museum at WPAFB in Dayton, Ohio; I have both the white A version with camera and the Olive Drab Infrared version; they were under the wings of an A-10 on display. I can post them, but for now I am posting...

Well, it was once again great to see many old friends and put some faces with those I yet had met. It was hot, but after all it was July and the shade and conversations were abundant. Thanks to all of you that attended and helped make it a success. Even though we worked it, I really enjoyed...

It was an interesting and some times adventurous weekend. While we were isolated out in the HPR field, I did get the opportunity to venture out a couple of times to say hello to several friends. It was hot, but manageable if you stayed under shade and the High Power field was no exception. We...

Jim, if you haven't yet, check with the Berry brothers at Merlin Missiles...they may be able to help. Gordy, I missed calling you last night...fell asleep after dinner, so I will call tonite bro.

Bill, you are ALWAYS old reliable when it comes to these events bro...it will be good to see you again! Oh, and thanks for helping out Chan...I know he has been emailing and you have been very helpful. John...I will look for it tonite. It's in my walk in closet, which is all storage and I...

Well John, of course I will be there, albeit working the whole time, but I think I still have an original TRF banner to use if you would like more advertisement. Just let me know bro... Carl

An Exacto knife is your best bet for cutting strips. I have worked with Flite-Metal aluminum self adhesive stock for R/C Jets and while thinner, it is still the best method for cutting thin metal. You need to use specific blades though, such as number 10, 22, 23 and 25 and pull the blade from...

Jim, Congratulations on your anniversary of Flistkits and you know I wish you and Kathy all the best you deserve. It looks like you had a great crowd and that's what makes it an even better event. You have come a long way bro! Boris, thank you for taking good care of one of my kids, the...

I have built the Heller kit in the past that MicroM is talking about and after getting it stable, it turned out to be a sweet looker and decent flier. Carl

About all you can do is a search for the file using Windows Explorer and hope there is another copy there somewhere.

I agree Sandman!!! Very clearly defined and well written. Fudd...this means that we will be able to purchase High Power motors without having to file for a LEUP or storage. I imagine it will include State and Local regulations as well, since they most likely need to abide by the federal...

Ben, It looks like you are well on your way! I am posting a link to my 38mm Deuces Wild that may be able to help you during your construction phase. It first flew in 2003 and actually made the cover of Sport Rocketry, something of which both Jim Flis and I were proud. Just click on any...

It looks like they got the new NAR HPR Certification Application online at the NAR website. There are several changes made to improve the Application and clarify gray areas. Link: https://www.nar.org/pdf/hpappl.pdf

You are correct, it does improve flight safety with a very small loss to ground safety. The L3CC and TAP members consider this to be the best choice for certifications, as it improves safety during the most critical point of the certification, the model's flight and recovery. Also note that...

I just wanted to let everyone know that the NAR HPR Website has been updated and most of the changes are now in place. As my last job as Chairman of Sport Services for the NAR, I completed the website updates and HPR Application update and the webmasters have the new pages up and running...

Not true...by removing power from some altimeters via an external switch, you have removed the power source from the pyro's, as required and shunts/switches on the mathces would not be necessary; this is actually a positive move, as it decreases the number of points of failure. However, it...

I have used GoDaddy for years to host various sites from my personal rocketry website, www.scalerocketry.com , to Tripoli Mid Ohio's website, www.tripolimidohio.org , to a flyrcjets.com website and their service is great. I currently have credits to use, where I get basic hosting service for...

Wel I finally made it here, after someone hijacked my ID, but want to thank AKPilot for his speedy assistance on getting the issue resolved. The forum looks fantastic and a bit different, but for the better I think and I am glad it's up and in business again! Thanks to all for your hard...
