Daniel Peirce just finished building this Mad Cow Nike Smoke kit and detailed it with his Blue Lava Coffee Roasters company logo. https://www.bluelavacoffeeroasters.com/

StickerShock (http://stickershock23.com/ ) helped with designing the wrap for the rocket.

This rocket will look impressive on the pad and into the sky.

Since Spring is here, bigger flights will be forthcoming soon.

"Congratulations to Daniel Peirce for Certifying Level 1"

Daniel successfully launched his Mad Cow Honest John rocket on an H128-10W with great results:

Welcome to the Gorge Rocket Club Section 790 website.

My Background

What is Thrust to weight ratio?

To safely launch a rocket the thrust to weight ratio should be at least 5 to 1

For example, if a rocket weighs 0.4 kg, and the motor has a thrust of 15 Newtons, is this safe?

Answer: The weight of the rocket is 0.4 x 9.8 = 3.9 N. Thrust is 15 N. The thrust to weight ratio is thus 15:3.9, or 3.8:1. This is less than 5:1 so the launch would be unsafe.

Here are the Gorge Rocket Club remaining launch dates for 2017.

New Dates for 2018 will be posted soon 🙂

Bring your rocket and your own engines.
There are two per month and will be at either three locations. Wyeast (which is a larger field and can accommodate larger engines and rockets), Westside for A to C motors, or Parkdale.

For Wy-East Middle school, we will be on the baseball field.

For Westside, we will be somewhere in the field based on wind direction. Just follow the rocket blasts!

We have worked with the landowners in Parkdale that can accommodate bigger rocket projects. FAA NOTAMs can be scheduled if necessary for that location.

If you know you are coming, it helps to RSVP via email so in case there is a last minute change due to weather or launch site change beyond our control, we can let you know. Otherwise, most launches are scheduled to go regardless of all but impossible launch weather. If it is windy, we suggest using smaller engines (A) and cutting a hole in the shoot or using streamer recovery.

Fees: If you would like to join, you can come to the shop or launch and fill out a waiver and it is $15 per family or $10 per person for the whole season (bring cash or check or if you need to pay by credit card please go through HR Community Ed because 100% of the fees go to them to pay for launch site). A parent or guardian is expected to be present for children, these are not supervised launches. https://hoodriver.cr3.rschooltoday.com/public/costoption/class_id/3557/public/1/sp/
