Current Club News
(updated
)
Welcome to the Tulsa Rocketry
website.
Our next launch will be March, 14th 2010.
We'll starting setting up at 12:30pm and the launch window opens at
1:00pm and closes at 5:00pm or until there isn't anything left to
fly.
Check back or updates in case of weather.
I have posted some pictures of the
November launch. I hope to have more. If you have
some please send them to
.
The 2010 Tulsa Rocketry Calendar is now
available. You can
purchase one in the
Tulsa Rocketry Shop.
We have posted a PDF file of the
flight cards.
You can download it and fill it out, then bring it to the launch and
you'll be ready for check-in immediately. It is a fillable form so you can enter your data
then print the form, or you can print the blank form and fill in the info with old fashioned
pencil or pen.
Our next meeting will be Thursday,
February 18, 2010 at 7:00pm at Flight Safety. We will have our usual rocket talk
and show and tell at the end of the meeting.
Just as a reminder to new visitors to our launches,
please only drive on the dirt roads between the sod fields.
DO NOT DRIVE ON THE SOD. Driving on the sod can damage it
and make it harder to harvest. If it doesn't look like a well worn dirt road then it's not
a dirt road, it's probably an area that was recently harvested. Check
out the new updated map and directions. Thanks for
your cooperation.
The
Limited Edition 20th Anniversary items available in the
Tulsa Rocketry Store, will be removed shortly after the first
of the year. If you want one now is the time to order. Drop in and
see if there is anything you want.
In case you hadn't heard, long time member James DuBois passed
away Wednesday, September 9th after a year long battle with throat cancer. In
honor of James we have posted a memorial page, and we
have renamed the Warloc drag race as the James DuBois Warloc Drag Race. Our
thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
We still have a few t-shirts left from High Frontier 5.
If you would like one they are $12 each plus $5 shipping. We have 1 XXL, 1 XL and 5 L
shirts left. Email
for ordering info, first come first served.
In case you were thinking of using Future Floor Finish
(now called Pledge with Future Shine), here is a
link
to a page with most of what you should know in order to use it.
The RocketScience Project is complete for 2009.
If you are interested in participating in RocketScience 2010, check out the RocketScience
page. We had three schools and 5 teachers participated this year. If your
school might be interested in lofting a science payload several thousand feet into the
atmosphere, check out the RocketScience page for more details.
Some sample electronics can be found on the Examples
page. Check it out.
See the May Launch Photos for pictures of the
2008 launch.
If you wish to donate to help fund various Tulsa Rocketry programs,
please check the sponsor page.
If you are thinking of trying to push the sound barrier on one of
your flights, you've got to check out this
video.
It shows what can happen to G10 fins at transonic/supersonic speeds.
Keep in mind our launch notification procedure. The Prefect
will send out an email by 10:00 am Saturday to indicate if the launch is a GO/NOGO.
It will be posted on this web site shortly after the notice goes out. We also have
simplified our launch fees. Low power (1/4 A through G) will be free for anyone.
If you are going to fly High Power (H or above) the fee is $5.00 for members and $10.00
for non members.
Do you think you'd like to join our happy group? Visit our
Membership Info page to find out how. You can see the
2009 Officer's here.
High Power News (H thru O motors only):
Anyone in the club that is Level 1 or higher or planning on getting
your Level 1 will no longer need to get a LEUP to purchase motors. The
tutorial on this website will help you get one if you want
one. However it is no longer required since the TRA/NAR won their court case against the
BATF.
Also the Attached Garage Storage Variance Tutorial.
Is still posted for anyone who still wishes to get one. It has worked for several
members so we have now turned it into our latest LEUP related tutorial. We hope it
helps you.
Questions, problems or comments contact

Send us your launch photos and we'll put them up on the site with your photo credit.
