Hmmm. not sure what you mean, at least from this thread. The only acronym here is BAR, which stands for Born-Again Rocketeer! <hint: has nothing to do with religion. well, maybe the religion of rockets!>

Default Message from Jon Sr.

Here's a message that Jon Sr. sent that came to my email since he's not a registered user here yet. Jon Jr., tell your dad he needs to register for an account on here in order to post in the forums. There's a link to register in the top menu bar.

To All,
Just to let you know I'm still alive and kicking. It's very nice to have you remember what has been "The Good Old Days". If I can be of any help please e-mail me .
I love the smell of rocket fuel in the morning.
Rgds

He wants us to notice his first name.

Yes, I just checked and he's now registered properly ready to login.

I noticed that he used the Atlantic Time zone though. Does he live in the Caribbean?

I replaced the elastic on the Groundhog 16 built by our club President Martin Bowitz at one of our classes about 10 years ago and I loaded a B4-2 motor and launched it last Saturday.

Insanely perfect flight with only a slight stall (I prefer a slight stall to a sprial dive....). It circled for quite a while, but I did not time it. Landed within 50 feet of the pad.
