It is quite simple, actually, once you understand a few quirks with the process. Get the pictures onto your computer's disk drive. You may want to use use photo editing software to reduce their size somewhat. YORF has a size limit, though I do not know exactly how much that is. I generally use 640x480 pixels for things I post online.

Use the "Manage Attachments" feature below to select pictures to include. There is a limit of five per post, so you will have to post more than once if you have a lot of them. Also, if the order is important to you, select one, upload it, repeat; the order is random if you select more than one, then upload.

Happy flying...


Bill

You can also get an account at Photobucket and post them through that. Once you upload them to Photobucket they get put in an album. They give you four choices of code to post them on other sites. Copy the fourth one, paste the code in the message body, and it will show up when you send the message.

No one has posted in a while.

I was hoping to launch today. The field is clear, the sky is blue, and a 20 mph wind...

20mph wind, eh? Might be a bit breezy for me, but I've been known to point the launch rod where it needs to be, too!
Go for it! Just use smallish engines!
Report will be due in 24hours!

By the time this weather is good for rockets the farmer will have planted. We have talked about using the school yard but that does mean 13mm range engines.

Last time I launched in high winds I almost lost my Nike-X. Chased it for 6 blocks...

It isn't like back home, with a 12 acre school field you can launch all day in.
