RSO and LCO training

[X-wooshprez]

This event is a go.
It will be held on May 5th, 2012.
1pm till 5pm.
in coordination with the "X member rocketry rummage sale"
At a home located in Franklin, WI.
As this thread is open to the public I am not going to divulge
our X members address on this open thread.
If you want to attend you are going to need to PM me for the info.
You will be required to give me your name in your pm. so I know who is coming.
Kind of like an RSVP.


I understand how difficult it is for folks to jump up and actually volunteer to do RSO and LCO duty.
I think that it should be on every good rocketeers agenda to volunteer some time towards the enjoyment of the hobby for their fellow man. That is everyone should get a little and give a little.
I'd be willing to give a little song and dance to teach guys how to do these volunteer jobs.
Would anyone be interested?
I'm not walking much so it would be here at my place.
Plenty of rockets here to use as props. Some bad ones too :confused:

I don't get down to Bong much, mostly because the tiny rockets I tend to fly work a bit better at the sod farm. BUT, should I be able to get to Bong, I would not mind helping out if I can. If you offer this training and I'm in town, I would come.

Sounds like a party to me! I'll bring charcoal.

[DeanHFox]

Let me know the date & place, I'll be glad to learn.

Are there HPR Certification requirements for RSO and/or LCO?

[X-wooshprez]

Although we do not have a formal written rule regarding high power certification for RSO and LCO staff it has always been agreed that the:

RSO should be L-2 preferred, L-1 acceptable.
LCO L-1 is nice but not necessary.

The deal really revolves around the fact that there is usually an appropriately certified member within earshot who can jump in when needed.

I plan on going for level 1 in April. I would volunteer to help as LCO.

[dnl2]

I am more than willing to help and learn also, so let me know when. Problem lately is that I have not had much time for the forums. Maybe you could email me? dnl2@att.net

I'm interested. While I've done a bit in the last couple years, I generally just wing it, with a bit of common sense thrown in. Club has some published guidelines, I wonder if they need any freshening up.

[JB101]

I'm interested also.

I'm working on putting together an "after sod farm" event for the May 5th launch.
It will entail a super duper rocket rummage sale as well as a cookout and this RSO/LCO training all in one big rocket day.
Hey, if you already told the missus that May 5th is a day to fly rockets then you might as well go all out. Am I not right? ;)

[chadrog]

Wow, that's weird... Just the other day I was thinking of throwing the idea of having a club cookout at the sod farm out there - sounds good!

[X-wooshprez]

It won't be on the field.
It will be held at the garage of a past member in order to faciltate the rummage sale.
It's not a for sure thing yet. Will update.

Oooooo, THAT rummage sale...

[X-wooshprez]

Yep, save your money up for this one.
Everything must go...
lots of HPR stuff

[CenturiKid]

Can other club members bring stuff to sell at the rummage? I have a few things in the collection that could use a new home.

[X-wooshprez]

I'm sorry but I can't do that.
The guys who are selling out have a lot of stuff to unload already and it's
a lot of big rockets that will take up a lot of room in the garage.
Not to mention unloading everyones' wallets.
I hope you understand.
You never know, maybe we should do this more often?

[X-wooshprez]

Updated my first post with info on the event.
Watch for a new thread describing the rummage sale
and a short teaser list of items that will be for sale.
