Chad staging at Bong launches
I went looking on the clubs website, but didn't find a definitive answer. Is there any prohibition against chad staging low power (13mm) non-competition flights at Bong launches?
It seems like an easier path to 13mm B impulse than handing over a big wad of cash to Jerry - and then facing a certification process :-) For the motors. For me. (Wait, NAR doesn't do experimental). For my sanity.

I looked for the same information for a club I plan to fly with this Fall. I could not find anything, so I'll guess I'll just email them. I want to build an old 2-stage design that was an Estes plan -- the Augie II (DOM Plan #28). I built this as a kid, and loved the rocket. It is a "ducted" design. The "upper" stage is a BT-20, and the booster motor is contained within a larger BT-60 tube, but falls freely. I suppose I could actually build a booster section that has fins, and held within the BT-60, if CHAD staging is not allowed. Here is a picture of the first page of the old plan, on JimZ Plans. This would make a great upscale, too, for 24mm or 29mm BP motors.

At CRASH we fly two and three motor Comanches all the time. A member just flew a four motor, old school 1960's Astron Farside this spring. This winter I might try another five motor rack rocket. |

Hoping to get to the 2nd CRASH launch this month. Out of town for the first launch. I've got a couple 2-stagers I might fly. An upscaled Augie II is likely a Winter project, so no worries for this particular CHAD-staged rocket for awhile. Four and five stagers - I gotta see these! Love the old Farside and Farside-X.

Sounds like WAYYYYYYY too many rules which equals nuthin' but grief in my book.
Usually there are a few PRIGS at organized launches that have to focus on garbage instead of FLYING.

You'll probably want to ask Chad if he's ok with being staged.

I know the proper staging for that kind of Chad. A cider booster with a whiskey sustainer. No issues.

It is only against competition rules, not any general NAR codes. If your club allows featherweight recovery models like the Estes Mosquito or Streak, the chad stager should fall under the same allowances.

Chad staging seems to be approved but just don't EVER try Frank, Sam, or Joe.
