Because the first Saturday of the Month in January falls on New Years Day, I have decided to postpone the official BARS Launch until the first Saturday in February.
The next BARS Launch will be on Saturday February 6th, 2010 starting at 9:00AM.
We will be there by 8:30 to setup the Tent, the Launch Equipment and Pads. Your help is appreciated.

My Tripoli Level 3 Cert Update
As with any project, real life always happens to get in the way. I have run into a few issues and have put the launch on hold for my Level 3 Launch
I have run into a recovery problem that I am working out before I can do my ground tests.
Level 3 Notes:
I am am in the process of completing a custom Giant Leap Liberty 6 for my Tripoli Level 3 Certification. This Rocket uses 6 inch diameter Magna-Frame body tubes, G-10 Fins and a Fiberglass Nose Cone. It is just about 11 feet in height and when finished and loaded with a Cesaroni M1770 Skidmark, the weight should come in around 48 pounds. I have pretty much finished the kit and now I am doing some heavy duty ground testing before I paint.
For Pictures of the build: Click here.
I will be uploading more pictures as I complete the ground testing.
The kit itself was a custom design from Giant Leap Rocketry
It is an upscale of the GLR Liberty 4 which I used for my Level 2 Certification.
If anyone is interested in the Rocksim 9 file for this kit, please email me at info@narbars.org
We will catch you all soon!, Marc
