NARCON wrapped up with a NAR Town Hall. In a nutshell: The Association is in great shape, but we need young blood and launch fields!

I sat in on a panel on getting your certification flights right. A good discussion . . . we should have recorded it.

Looks like a great time I wish I could have made NARCON this year.

Those two stage kits look interesting!

That two-stager is here: http://www.throweightrocketry.com/#!fireshark/c1dfb

In that picture with the Piesters are the elder and younger misters Thro (John standing, Thomas seated).

Even though I have over 350 kits in "the stash", one of those came home with me.

Added: and since I'm the altimeter guy, I chatted with the two of them about modding the Fire Shark to add a payload section. The production models are slightly longer than the prototype on display. There is plenty of length to turn to top 3 inches or so into a payload section and still have generous room for the recovery system....and a baffle.

Yeah, pretty much the same picture here.

That two-stager will be my new "demonstrate staging" model. A trifle heavy for a A8-0/A8-5 combo, but it doesn't need to perform well, but show off the staging process.

OK. I did a rough "triage" of my photos, and dumped them in a Flickr set.

I need to make another pass and get rid of the poorer-version-of-two photos. And yet another pass to label everything!
