Frank Kosdon was kicked out a few years ago, but he was reinstated within
a few months. I don't recall the reason.
I'm pretty sure Jerry Irvine was kicked out since TRA BOD minutes talk
about his requests to get reinstated. No idea why or when he was kicked
out.

OK, let's assume for the moment that Jerry did not have the claimed 15K
waiver for the launch. Let's assume that Jerry lied and told people he did
have a 15K waiver. What was done to someone who lied, saying his rocket
would go 12K, when it really went 25K? Was he too kicked out? Or was he
given a performance record for a flight that broke a waiver that he claimed
didn't even exist?

Bob, where are you getting your information? Were You present at the
launch in question? Who said their rocket would go to 12k? How do you
know that the rocket went to 25k?
If there was no waiver, it's because jerry did not have one.
This is very interesting. It seems there is at least some smoke involved
here. Was there actually a launch in question? Please do tell what
transpired.
I am curious now.

Tell me you haven't heard of Jerry's sad tale about how he got tossed
ut of TRA. That's what he's talking about. It must have been at
least 12 years ago.
If You're referring to Bob's claim, You'll have to get the details from
Him. Bob's statements are based on claims made by jerry.
Maybe Bob could tell Us when and where this launch took place.
Maybe Bob could describe the technical details of the rocket and flight.

did you have a point ? oh thats right NO you did not come back when you
have something useful to say

oh it also does look like he was less than 15 feet (hard to tell its an
angle etc..) but I watched it a dozen times what "flinch" do you refer
too. he ran turned about running backwards and watched it take off. no
flinch that I could see.
either way on a model like that it could not hurt him. its pure length
and intertia would not permit it to rotate enough to harm him no matter
what happened.

Chuck and Korey flew a rocket using "U.S. Rockets" technology developed
by Irvine and disclosed to them in Powertech, a partnership of Irvine,
Rogers, Kline, and others (long 54mm motor), at a Lucerne launch with a
15,000 foot FAA waiver.
Rogers stated AT THE LAUNCH the preflight run stated 13,000 feet, so he
could get permission to fly.
It was optically tracked using NAR style trackers owned by Irvine to
25,000 feet (nearly as high as a post-flight computer run by Irvines
said it should go).
Rogers after the flight stated it was preflight estimated to 32,000 feet
and in fact used that flight data as the "sample" in a commercial
software program RASALT4.bas (co-written by Irvine) for years.
Smoking gun.
He was not removed (by himself) from TRA.
The FAA agreed Irvine had obtained waivers for that and each other fest
launch from 1986-1992.

Well you do too. Why don't you prove that Jerry DIDN'T have the waiver?
Why don't you prove that Chuck DIDN'T lie about the expected altitude?
Why don't you proge that Chuck wrote the code he claims to have written?
Why don't you prove that TRA really did certify the D-E-F-G reloadable
motors that Chuck claimed were certified at NARAM-34?
Why don't you prove that TMT tested the delays on all the AT M motors that
thye certified.
Why don't you prove that TMT tested all the motors they claimed were
certified from 1994-1997.
Come on, Ray, just prove it. I've repeatedly promised to stop harping on
stuff if it were proven to be real, and to apologise to all involved if I
was proven wrong. WHy can't you just take your own advice.
PROVE IT!

I'm not the one making wild accusations at other people's expense. Nor
am I the one who is trying to take credit for every conceivable
advancement or innovation in rocketry just to boost my own ego.
As for Jerry's waiver problem, that was investigated years ago and to
my knowledge no evidence was found to support Jerry's claim. Now I know
you'll say, "Yes, but TRA did the investigation and so it must have
been flawed because TRA is the source of all evil." If that's they way
you like to think, fine, but don't expect me to buy into your crackpot
conspiracy theories just because you hate TRA and Chuck Rogers.
Especially when you're siding with a guy who has a PROVEN track record
of criminal fraud and deceit. If it comes down to who's word is more
trustworthy, I'll take anyone in TRA over Jerry.
What I find notable about this poat is it totally disregards many past
posts from not only myself but others offering collaborating evidence
(witness accounts).
So debating with you is actually beyond useless.
Let's see your waivers from your Nevada flights Ray.
Then your Arizona ones.

Posts are hearsay. Just because someone posts to usenet claiming to
have "witnessed" something doesn't mean they actually did, or that they
know what they're talking about. You post lots of crap, and all that's
ever proven is that you're full of it. BTW, I don't recall ever seeing
any post from anyone who said they saw the waiver you claimed to have.
In fact, you yourself have on other occasions said that obtaining
waivers was Chuck's responsibility, not yours. Oh what a tangled web,
eh? You can't even keep your contradictory stories straight.
How would that prove that you're not a liar? Or are you admitting that
you did lie about waivers you didn't have, but it's ok because you
think someone else didn't have a waiver either?
Depending on alleged "witness accounts" instead of verifiable evidence
is very convenient for your avoidance strategy. So is making
accusations against others in order to shift the focus away from your
lies. Sorry, I'm not going to play that game.
