[NRVR-Members] FREE MOTORS - What F/G Rockets Are You Bringing To The Sinkland Pumpkin Farm Launch?

[Thomas Tweeks Weeks]

High Thrust Motors UPDATE: 
For those who were asking about higher thrust G motors (>80 newtons avg).. Bob and I were chatting about this, and we're approving the use of higher avg-thrust G motors (e.g. AT G126, CTI G115, etc) for this class-1 (low/medium power)launch. Some of the medium power rockets that will be flying are actually safer and more stable under higher avg-thrust.  So go ahead and order what you want. Sparkies may or may not be allowed, depending on the weather and field conditions.. so bring them, but have non-sparkies to fly on too.
