[NRVR-Members] Free Motors

[Thomas Tweeks Weeks]

The "free motors" offer is closed.. and the motors have been order and added to the group order.. but you can still save a lot on shipping & hazmat fees (like $25-30) my adding it in with our group shippment (and I'll hand them out at the field).


Get your order in BEFORE CoB Friday.. and put in the shipping note:
   "ship along with Tweeks/NRVR Shippment"

Just make sure:
  -the rocket weighs in under 1500g (3.3lbs), sitting loaded on the pad 
  -the motor has 125g or less of propellant (all Gs and some Hs)
  -Simulations show it won't break 1500ft (our imposed limit for this field)

As proof of this last point, any flyer may be asked to fill out one of these RSO pre-flight data capture forms on site:
  http://server2.nrvr.org/files/NRVR_Pre-Flight_Data_Capture_Form_2020.pdf

So either save and bring your sim data (with things like speed off the rod, T:W, CP/CG, and max altitude)... or just fill out one of these forms ahead of time.

There will be a lot of pumpkin farm customers.. so we need to keep things safe.
