Any contest for LDRS?

Any bee problems in Geneseo that time of year? Maybe diet dew or diet pepsi......

Hey, don't forget scale DOWNs. One of our club members regularly flies his mini-Broadsword :-)

IIRC Ray shoots film. Analog for Chris Taylor.

But someone must hae a hi res digi camera at any big launch.

Clarification: are they the builders or the payloads?

Was that absurd, or what, using extes altiscopes for tracking.

Yes, but then they become excited, noisy bees with attention problems.

At a LUNAR launch a while back, someone had a (BT-55 sized/18mm mount, IIRC) "Really Really Small Endeavour" scaled down from the PML kit.

Offer them the ride of their lives.

Ssh! Don't scare them away! Use the term "passengers"...

ahem! you must have this confused with Croak

Coke was actually on a par with Pepsi before they ruined it. The new Croak was so bad, they had to issue Coke Classic to keep their market share. As it was, Croak Classic in no way resembles the original Coke before they ruined it. There oughta be a law, ... really.

when I ask for a Pepsi and they say, "we only have Coke", I say, "well, that's not a Pepsi, is it?"

Cherry Coke is barely tolerable

there so bad, I'll go out of my way to find a movie theater that sells Pepsi instead of Croak

Hey, I'm from the Pepsi Generation, comin' atcha!

Mountain Dew is Yaaaaahooooo! :)

but your right, Croak is a better choice for a payload. If there's a lawndart even the bee's won't touch it ;)

I just have a 1.2 Megapixel 'convergence' camera. It records video to mini-DV, and 1152 x 864 pixel stills to Memory Stick

Sony DCR-PC100 specifications at

and it's great to playback my kids launches in slow motion ... forward and back ... ;)

I'll have it with me

It actually got better.

I do agree with you about the first batches of Coke Classic - I remember trying it with a friend and we looked at each other and said "this isn't quite the same, is it?" It seems to eventually have come back on track though.

I think they tried to cheap out on real sugar and use more "high fructose corn syrup" than they could get away with, at first, before they realized that the taste was too different. They've always been using more corn in Cherry Coke - my best description of what I didn't like about "Classic" as they first produced it was that it tasted "more like Cherry Coke without the cherry than like real Coke".

Bob, The discussion is about a contest for LDRS, not NAR weinies national!

Got digital video at 1.7 mp or Still photo at 6.2 mp......what was start of this? A pic of Jerry in spandex? You may want to go with

The gallon of liquid could be any number of things, water would be the cheapest and cleanest. Milk would simply present a more "wholesome" image. The fragility of the typical blow molded PE container would be a challenge, 2L PET? soda bottles are pretty tough. A gallon size was suggested to weigh about 8lbs, like the bowling ball, 2L of your (least)favorite carbonated beverage is only going to weigh about 4.5 lbs.

I have an EZI 6.5 based on BT-60 tubing.

John Belushi might be alive today if only he'd said (with proper accent) "No Coke, Pepsi!"

So? You mean you can't fly a mini-Broadsword on a PRO-38?
