Club Launches
Don't forget to come out to a Launch
if you are nearby. We are always happy to see other rocketeers from
distant shores. Colorado Springs is 6800 feet above sea level - When
was the last time you managed 7000 feet on an Alpha with an A8-3 (200
ft + the altitude)? Try it from a 12,000 foot mountain pass!!!
If you already live here, bring your model rocket down and fly it!
The club provides launch equipment. In addition to sports flying,
the club is active in contests and competes strongly in the areas
of Boost Gliders, Parachute Duration, Streamer Duration, Helicopter
Recovery, Odd-Rocs and Altitude events. Some members participate in
high powered launches (H and higher motors) in conjunction with the
regional Tripoli association.
High Powered launches are held at the Tripoli site (Hartsel Colorado). |

Photos by Nadine
COSROCS is proud to host Nadine
Kinney's Rocket Photo Web Site.
Nadine has been clicking away at our local launches for quite some
time. She's also become a common sight at many of the national and
regional launches. Her photos have been published in all of the major
rocketry magazines, a rocketry related calendar
for and they even appeared as a sequence of still shots in a rocket
video. |

Time
sheets
Members should record their times soon after the activity: you forget what you've
done otherwise. Our goal is to have a quarterly report to submit to the club.
If you work in Excel, download the form, make it into a "Read Only" file,
then copy and save that file for each quarter session. Submission dates for the
individual volunteer forms are:
1st Saturday in January,
1st Saturday in April,
1st Saturday in August,
1st Saturday in December. That way, we have time to get them compiled for
the club's meetings within those same months. |
