Lance --- just FYI, I grew up in Lima (Elida, actually) and moved to Milwaukee about 6 years ago. I, too, never got into mid or high-power because of "no local club"....the closest was MIVARS (Miami Valley Rocket Society) down in Dayton...I went to a couple of their launches, but I couldn't convince my wife that the logistics were acceptable for me to go 70-odd miles whenever I wanted to launch rockets...so I stuck with "D" power and below, and flew 'em in fields around the house. Very best of luck to you, though...maybe someday there'll be a club in northwest Ohio. Heck, maybe YOU'LL be the one to start it!

Hello Jay Your NAR # will probably be slightly higher than mine. I signed up about 6 months ago with the NAR. I flew without membership in TRA or NAR for many years and although it's somewhat of an expense I'm happy that my money goes to support both organizations and their legal funds. I haven't subscribed to the TRA magazine as part of my membership for the last couple of years but I really do like Sport Rocketry. It was worth the membership cost just to have access to Sport Rocketry and that played a large part of my signing on with the NAR. Since Hurrican Katrina there is only one newstand in the New Orleans area that handles Sport Rocketry and availability is sporadic at best. Some of the coupons they will send you as part of your package are dated and are no longer valid.

Bit of a ride, but give us a try down at Quark sometime. If we can sync it up, I'll buy the post launch dinner. (Skyline or Chipotle. Your choice. )

Personally, I was amazed when I found out that NAR numbers had 6 digits. Suddenly I felt very very old... (That's happening a lot lately- like when I found out that the Hofner 500/1 bass I bought new in 1981 is now officially "vintage," or when people talk about mid '80s to '90s rockets being "vintage." Sigh...)

getting old
Quote:
yeah, getting old isn't any fun, lol ... but the stories we can tell :-p . ( and I can spell, honest, just can't type, K ? :-) I was feeling old the other day when I realized my 76 Nova I bought in 1990 is 'suddenly' a 30 year old antique. As for NAR and TRA numbers, I have a nice 5 digit NAR No., but imagine there's guys on here with 4 digit, maybe 3 ? ... Larry maybe ? Not sure Tripoli is old enough to be vintage ... but I'll keep my old #, thanks. :-) ~ AL NAR 34644 Tripoli 90 ( or more correctly on my new card 00090 ) |

Yeah, I have the typing issues too.... I'm not sure if it's because I never really learned how, or if it's because it's getting harder to see the keyboard (I'm NOT wearing bifocals...yet...)
