Model Forum / General / Rockets / September 2004

Ok, so I am getting back into the hobby and really enjoying things with my
son (age 9). My question is - I have let my membership expire in Tripoli.
Upon rejoining will I have to recert? If so, do I get a new number and
everything. If so, will it be easier joining NAR? I have a lot ...

Here are a few photos from last Sunday. I don't
know everyone's rockets so chime in if you can
ID some of them. Most  of these are big motors,
L, M's etc. The one with the flag next to it was

2004 Desert Rocketry Trip -- Arizona
By Ray R. Dunakin III, TRA #389
At the beginning of August I went on my annual desert rocketry & camping trip.
Usually I spend most of the trip in central Nevada, but this year I decided to

Well, I'm getting closer to attempting my Level 1 cert.  I've got a
beautiful LOC-IV (mostly stock) drying and I'm starting to think about
motor selection.  Since I'll being buying the motor on-site it's going
to be whatever Tim from <shameless plug> rocket-technologies.com

I just picked up a PML Endeavor kit. It's the largest and most
powerful rocket project I've started.
Anyway, my goal is to make it good for flights up to J and possibly
larger. Of course, PML designed the kit for H/I/J flights, so one
