sport rocketry

I got one with NSL on the cover.

They were available in the first week of Sept on the newsstand at my local hobby shop.

Mine arrived by mail in early September (and I think I may be near the bottom of the stack: the threads in RMR on "stuff in the latest issue of SR" tend to have come and gone by the time I actually receive the issue in question!)

Could be. You may want to contact NAR Headquarters and tell them your copy never got to you.

Yeah, great article too, huh? ;-)

Actually your article is good and the whole issue is particularly good. It made me realise Sport Rocketry is a mature, helpful magazine indeed.

I still waiting for mine too. I have seen the issue in hobby stores. Wonder what's up.

I love Bob's name for a heli rocket, what a crok !

If you like "Rotacrock" then you'll love my stupidroc name: "Up Yours" :-)

Tickle laugh.

Sounds Japanese to me. Oclay? ; )

Is this another food container vehicle made from a 7 up bottle?

Randy

Nope. But the name was certainly proved correct at NARAM-22...

That's the 18' A SR model that was first, and was DQed 2 days later based on motor choice. While folks who deliberately broke the safety code were allowed to place in the event.

Welcome to the NAR.

Jerry

Hey, that's two more days than I had.

Alan

I assume you mean others had hard wood dowels supporting their structure or something.

What motor choice casued a DQ 2 days later ? I assume a non contest certified motor was used and not caught at the sing in desk ?

I assume all hell froze over since you used a non certified motor in the event, and now the cubs are wining even !

Art

no he used a booster motor.

A perfectly well certified booster motor.

Nope. Holding the rocket and letting go 0.5 seconds before launch, being 2' away when the rocket is launched.

Nope. Estes A10-0T. Contest certified continiously from its introduction around 1973 until 1-Jul-2000. Specifically checked by the Check-in person and declared legal. Contest Jury said otherwise 2 days later. No oportunity to re-fly or make second flight. No Pink Book rule to back up the decision. Several people "DQed" out of the event as a result. One of many things that made NARAM-22 the most FUBARed NARAM in my 29 years of competition...

Just as bad on unfair treatment as TRA is on over regulaton and smiffing money.
