"Offical" BALLS Page click here
Below is the AHPRA/XRAA BALLS page.
This page has much the same info as the "Official Page" But you need to go there for latest info, to register and buy T-shirts.
Pre registration ends September 20, 2010. This means it must be delivered to AHPRA before that date, not post marked.
BALLS is held under Tripoli Research rules, new rules went into effect in January 2009, check the TRA website. To launch you must be a TRA member, to launch research you need to be level 2 minimum and certified to the total impulse you are using. The NAR does not support research activities so NAR members can not launch unless they are also TRA members, sorry..
Certified motors must be K impulse or greater.
Research motors have no minimum size.
Vendors MUST contact AHPRA well before the launch to guarantee a space on vendor row.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday is launching all day or until we run out of rockets on Sunday.
Thats right, research all three days.
Waiver is with windows to 150,000 feet.
If you are planning to use a total impulse larger than P, liquid fuel, or a hybrid with an oxidizer other than Nitrous Oxide you must get the approval of the Tripoli Board before the launch. You should plan on submitting your proposal to them before LDRS so it can be voted on. In '08 we had issues with projects with a total motor burn greater than 15 seconds, if you are thinking about doing this contact the TRA BoD early to start negotiations. If you just show up with one of the above without the BoD blessing it will not be launched.
All projects P or larger need a seperate waiver. The flyer of the rocket must file with the FAA themselves, this is a FAA rule not ours.
