[TMT] Never honored policy

At least my "reputation" is based largely on rumour and inuendo (from persistent uninvolved trolls no less), not PUBLISHED FACTS and ongoing alleged frauds, like TRA!

Jerry

Or less. A mis-set functioning clock.

More inaccurate info.

The first tests by Tripoli were ran on Feb. 2-3, 1991. Testing was held at Lucerne Dry Lake.

Some of those present were, C. Rogers, USR (guess who?), AT, F. Kosdon and others.

19 motors were certified out of 80 tested motors, during that time. If I remember at least 5 were by USR.

One USR motor, G45 burst during the test.

Motor came from USR, Kosdon, Syner-Jet, Propulsion Ind., Vulcan (I don't think S, Dixon was present) and Rocket Flight.

Results were published in Vol. 6 #2 (June 1991) of the Tripolitan. I gues they could have made them up, we'll sewho says that one.

The next scheduled test was for June 6, 1991.

I like facts.

Of Irvine reloadables on Aerotech equipment operated by Dan Meyer with Powertech partner (current) Charles E Rogers allowing partner Frank Kosdon to fire Powertech (under EXCLUSIVE license to USR as OEM) propellant in Powertech (OEM for USR) cases and certify them as Kosdon motors. Yep!

Wood Meyers Irvine Kosdon Rogers

But never made it to the list. Were never published!!

Roy, I do too, but your statement is inaccurate on its face. The above statement was that Tripoli was not testing 'in-house'. To me, this means an established place, with established equipment, not simply running out to a desert launch to see "what's happening".

I'm perfectly willing to be corrected, however.

When did TMT (the motor-testing arm of Tripoli) actually form? Earliest published date of data under that banner?

WITH AEROTECH EQUIPMENT AT JERRY IRVINE'S LAUNCH!!!

When faced with facts, you make it up.

Giving you info. is like talking to the wall, no that's not right, a wall is a solid object. Your plastic.

You were a joke back then and nothing has changed.

You have changed the truth for so long, you no longer know what the truth is, IMHO.

I beg to differ, Bob. Here's a quote from the June 1991 Tripolitan:

"On Feb. 2 and 3, 1991 the author [Bill Wood] and Tripoli President Chuck Rogers, met with Franklin Kosdon and representatives of U.S. Rockets and Aerotech ISP to static test eighty high power rocket motors at Lucerne Dry Lake, CA."

Roy,

I resent the above. Those statements that you snipped/quoted are mine, and are out of context. It's interesting that you quote my statement that I'm willing to be corrected--I said that your statement was false on its face, gave my rationale, asked for any corrections, and your response is to resort to ad hominem attacks on me.

Thanks, you've just established your credibility level.

***Don't feed the trolls***

On AEROTECH equipment, operated from DAN MEYERS' van using AEROTECH equipment he made and operated.

At a launch I hosted.

In-house my ass.

BTW Dan on ORDERS from GARY (no conflict there, eh) REFUSED to show me any of the data from those firings (but showed wood his, and Frank "my reloadables" etc) and none of THAT PARTICULAR USR DATA ever saw the light of day. Any published firings were previous firings or fabricated firings.

The ONLY motor from that era and it may have actually been one fired at Gary's shop on the same equipment with the same people present was the J880. That WAS published only because it was a personal favorite of Charles E Rogers AND was part of the historic measured mach flights Myself, Chuck Mund, Scott Pearce, and gary Rosenfield did at El Dorado Dry Lake.

Jerry

That namecalling did not address what I said or add new info at all. Of course. Your style is sooooo predictible.

Jerry

You two need to get a room.

Thanks, you've just helped to establish your credibility as well.
