Thanks everyone for the great launch!
We had a small crew and basically were running off Ron's pad and the
RocketElectronics Wireless launcher. The manual is very clear about how to use
the Wireless controller, if you don't read it - it will automatically launch
rockets for you when you hook them up - a very dangerous unit as James, Mike,
Aidan and others found out! But it is simple and a great device, we launched
all the rockets off it.
The burners have really taken over the playa, we had some freak come out naked
with his schlong hanging out and looking for his dog. Mike ran him off.
To add insult to injury we had another dragging an american flag on the playa
and on top of that - on the 4th of July - Mike and I confronted him and were
about to take his flag.
We had some other burner freaks who had dilated pupils and looked like they
were on LSD and needed to be scared off.
We had the "Blackrock rangers" come over which is a group of people who collect
the remnant "burners" off the playa after they have gone on wild safari and are
lost and on the brink of death.
There is so much to write about, heck, I guess we should discuss it more
at the next launch!
See you all on the 18th!

Thank you - great shots!

</div>we put it into your Surface-Pro 3 - I think you may have
accidentally run scandisk and it truncated the file (I shut off the system

The day started with me screwing up the site coordinates (as corrected below) -
we used the Mudrock coordinates because the BALLS site was too soft and further
against the foothills
We flew about 6 HPR flights and then got beat down by the heat and some showers
and lightning storms; it cleared up and tomorrow should be awesome - Mike Smith
is flying an MD L265 and I am flying an MD N1000 both with precious electronic
bays
At the end of the day, We went to Blackrock and Mike Smith found a ruby!
More tomorrow!

party).
BTW, we got knocked out completely in September because of Burning Man :(
</div>
</div>Anyhow, here are the dates, copy/paste

As others have said, I too am bummed that I can't go. But, now I know what
I'll have to beg/borrow/steal/bring (Launch pad, etc) for next year.
Is the date going to be a holiday weekend again next year? When will we have a
rock-solid date so I can put in on my MUST DO calendar??
Have a great time all!!

Hey Folks,
<div>
Launch details are on the
website.
</div>The launch is really
simple, bring your rockets and launch pad & equipment and I will run the FAA
waiver for you.
</div>
We will have a generator.
<div>
We will have Porta-potties if
someone will pick-up and return the Portaportties in Reno.
</div>I will be there along
with our other members. This is an excellent chance to fly some big stuff in
God's gift to Rocket launch sites - Blackrock! If you've never been to
Blackrock, this is a perfect chance to learn to navigate and get around there.
</div>
You will only have to pay $20 for the whole weekend including BLM permit ($15
donation to the club, $5 to BLM).
<div>
</div>
Best call Brunos if you have no camping plans and book a room now:
<span><a target="_blank"
href="tel:%28775%29%20557-2220">(775) 557-2220</a></span>
We will have a LOT of fun and meet at the launch site every morning at 9AM till
whenever!
<div>
</div>
Oh yes, rules - there are no rules other than the golden rule (do unto others)
and be in compliance with the Tripoli
safety code and local ordinances.
<div>
PS, We don't have generator
and light Nazis either so if you want to crank your music and
party all night you can do that too :-)
</div>
</div>
Thanks,
-James

Hi Folks,
Great news! Bummed about DairyAire this year - here is your chance to make up
for it!
We managed to plan and put together a TCC Club launch out at Blackrock on the
weekend of Independence Day (4th of July) ! We also have a commitment from
Bay Area Rocketry
to for the weekend for as our vendor.
Launch Dates
Friday 07/03 (6AM to 6PM - Site B+ (150K+) from 10AM-12PM)
Saturday 07/04 "
Sunday 07/05 "
The FAA has approved our flight operations from surface to 150K (146K AGL)
and the range will be open from 6AM - 6PM for all 3 days of the event
(the whole weekend).
Launch Site A (BALLS Site)
DMS N40°52'59.73" W119°02'04.73"
DD N40.883258, W119.034647 (40.883258, -119.034647)
(Alternate site available for large projects)
If you are planning high altitude flights up to 50K AGL, please send your
package with all supporting paperwork to me and Richard King for approval.
If you're flying over 50K AGL, you will need approval by the Tripoli
Class 3 Committee 90 days prior to flight. Since the FAA was delayed this
year in issuing our COA, please get your Class 3 package together ASAP
and I will have it submitted (I already have mine approved from last
year so if you have questions or need an example, email me off chat).
The club DOES not plan to bring launch equipment to the event this year; it's
strictly bring your own gear (like BALLS). However, if there are
people willing to haul equipment, we can arrange for 1-2 pads and I am sure
you can bargain with people for use of their gear.
We will arrange for Portapotties and there will be a few areas to hang out
(our Blackrock Lounge as usually done at BALLS).
Launch fees: $25 for the entire weekend!
We can discuss more at the June launch, but now is your chance
to get some good rocket flying in (next 6 weeks will be pure Rocket fun)!
I'll get the website updated in a bit. But now can I see a show of hands for
who's going?
Thank you!
-James
President, TCC
