The Comercial Worked!

Alas, Apogee hasn't made any of their motors for over 2 years. The discontinued the BP micro motors at NARAM-43, and the AT fire eliminated the APCP motors just a couple months later.

No response. What I figured. Somone running his mouth that has no commitment.

Good thing the ATF compliant, DOT compliant USR motors are not certified!

I told you so.

The guys at Balsa Machining should get a littl ink too.

AFAIK, TRA BoD and/or it's assignee(s) were the only ones doing any negotiating.

No, it's only half-vast...

Nope. A narrow one.

Same here. I had a sister tape it for me. It is only SLP, but it is a keeper. I'd like to get it on DVD or SVCD. There were some anoying comments, and some confusion bewteen ameture, HPR and EX. I like that they showed the failures as well as the successes, and behind the scenes stories. I thought that there should have been more edvertising as product placement. Aerotech and Cessaroni were mentioned in passing, but no real product placement. Only the Estes banner behind the swarm was effective. There were a few good oppotunities to slip in a "Now it's Miller Time", but only hillbilly beer was mentioned. They probably could have worked in a good ad for the new F-150 pickup trucks.

Hi All I agree

Response to the add with respect to Hangar 11, Inc has been good. Many many emails, and inquiries, some sales to existing fliers who "found Hangar

The thing that really floored me was the precision tracking devices used to track the "low" flights. At the safe distance required for the outhouse flight couldn't have measured more than a degree or two. But that certaily didn't look like what the two trackers were sighting.

There were many spots where the editing didn't match the action. The 'box' rocket was almost into the ground and they flashed to the flier who was looking way up and saying "there should have been a chute by now".

I thought it strange that the trackers were not positioned further apart

That too. Especially since NONE of htse rockets really went vertical. Definite advantage to any one who tipped off in a direction AWAY from the trackers.

Doesn't TRA own any REAL tracking equipment. NAR has only had this for just over 4 decades...
