LDRS has come and gone (in a grand and glorious faction), so it's time to continue on with the TRA Legal Fund Raffle.
This month's prizes are another fine selection that everyone will want in on, I'm sure:
Edward Miller, BSD High Power Rocketry, PerfectFlite, Ed Jacoby
Edward Miller (the guy behind those incredible painting articles in HPR) is building a custom BSD Apache, donated by BSD, and mounting a PerfectFlite MAWD (donated by PerfectFlite). He'll then paint it (we're talking professional-quality paint job here, folks!) and in the process, write an article for High Power Rocketry. Ed Jacoby has graciously offered to pay the shipping for the completed rocket, including the altimeter, to the winner. No pictures just yet -- Edward is completing assembly, and thinking about the ideal paint job. He estimates the prize will be ready for shipment to the winner sometime in September.
Art Applewhite Rockets
Art is donating another one of his 12" 38mm flying saucer kits. I've seen some great reviews of these!
Newton's 3rd Rocketry
Okay, so everyone can't afford to fly a full-size porta-potty. But you CAN afford to fly the Lil' Johnny Rocket Kit, which Newton's 3rd Rocketry is donating. It's a detailed model of a porta-potty with fins and motor mount, and a great little flier from the comments I've heard.
Terry McCreary
Terry continues his efforts to educate the world on EX, with a donation of Experimental Composite Propellants.
Entry deadline is August 31st; tickets are $5 a chance. Remember, all proceeds go to help Tripoli fund the Legal Battle against the ATF.
