I put in a very simple Rules Change Proposal; to add STAGED ALTITUDE as an event, after all, we have CLUSTER ALTITUDE - and a provisional even involving the timed drop of a Wiffle Ball . For a few years now, the NAR has strung me along, passing me from one officer to another. They never even put it out for a vote by membership. If they said "No" I would be cool with that, but answering by not answering is for little kids.

So, I just stopped being a rocket nerd.

...for a while...

Lately, however, I find that I still wanna fly rockets. I still dig my 13-second gliders, so they will be back once I get them fixed back up.

Oh... and I gonna get that futzing field...
