| Naram 41 Day 1 1999
The Flight Range opened at 8am. I arrived at about 7:50
The Field was only about 15 minutes from the
hotel. Although the field is not large it is long! so if the
wind is in the right direction there is plenty of room for even the
high flyers. Vendors were already starting to set up.
It was QUICKLY found out that C Payload competitors
who did not already have there engines were in BIG trouble !!
Apogee had only 2 C10-7's left and I got them (pheww :-) I actually
needed C10-10's but would only lose 50 feet with the 7 Without the Seven's
the next best engine was 500 feet worse !!
I did a poor job of tracking the names of
people and rockets - Tomorrow I will take a recorder with me to make
it a little more accurate. So for now I will display the
pictures and any descriptions I can remember. |

The First launch of the Entire
meet was the Official Naram 41 Rocket the N-41 which looks
kind of like a V2 with extended fins
 |
|
| Above Right a Modeler prepares his rocket
for Flight on the pad.
Here I boost my SR-71 R/C Blackbird for it first
flight of Naram Good Boost with Loop at apogee (I like
doing that :-) and A nice soft landing 30 seconds later |
 |
|
| (??) prepares his
Stingray for Boost practicing for the Sunday RCRG Contest
Below is a VERY Cool Picture of George
Gassaway's Klinberg Rocket Powered Flying wing climbing into a
gorgeous sky !
This scan does NOT do it justice !! |

George Brings the wing past on its
final approach for landing. |
|
| Here is my Scratch built conversion
of a Styrofoam Glider to RCRG I underestimated the POWER
of the E-15 and a micro second after this picture |
 |
 |
This Occurred :-) Oops well it cost
lest than $20 ! George was at the controls for safety
since he was more experienced - I blame him for nothing - the
fault was in my misalignment of the Motor mount - It happened
so fast it was breathtaking ! |
|
| Here is a Rocket off the High Power Pad
Can you say Going Going Going GONE !!! |

|
My Newest Incarnation of the MPGB
designed for the Turbo 2000 Foam Gliders.
Here it Boosts on an Estes D12-3 |
| Here are the 2 Gliders and Booster
a mere second after separation. |
|
|
|
|
Ooops
Slightly Unstable - It proceeds to loop again twice more
Launch straight up and Loop again before Finally ejecting :-)
It had a Bunch of D12 air starts
and they appeared to NOT fire In Sync causing the intermittent
instability and then stability. |
|
|
ALSO I am sorry I do not have his name (I WILL get
it) another Modeler developed his 2 rolls from his Rocket Boosted
Camera's - many were Simply shots of the ground before and after
Flight so I am only going to scan a select few. |
|
|
| Here are a couple of pictures from the
Old Rocketeers Reunion AND also a Patch given to those with NAR
Number of 45,000 or lower |
