New rocket aerial photos

May 20, 2004 11 Replies

I've just finished uploading a few new rocket aerial photos. Most of them are from a new payload design using an electronic timer. The timer was supplied by Daniel Franklin. Since it requires less physical space than the "servo and lever" mechanism in my previous payloads, I was able to fit the entire thing into a 2.6" airframe tube. This results in a more aerodynamic configuration than the previous boxy design.

Eventually I'll post some construction photos of the payload.

Are those the ones flown waiver-free on I motors?

Jerry

If he's not flying them to an altitude that touches the lower boundary of "Controlled Airspace", then "unmanned rockets" (any size) only need notification, not a waiver. Are you implying that Ray would do something irregular?

Are you implying he was in actual compliance despite the fact he has been avoiding the question (from several people)?

From what I can tell, that is totally impermissible on rmr. I used to be on that siode too. I have been retrained by trolls, narcs, and overcomplyers.

I declare that a bad thing.

200 lb of hazmat shipped, labeled as model airplane parts -- what's dat?? 40 grand to the man, lost on appeal -- hey!! what da deal???

I find the repetition of this to be harassment. Cease.

Then you should not have fraudulently and illegally shipped rocket motors labeled as "model aircraft parts"

You made your bed, now go "lie" in it.

A little more whine with that 40k worth of cheese???
