Tripoli-Colorado Has Vendors!

A number of local vendors come out to Tripoli-Colorado launches. Please be sure to drop by and visit them when you're at a launch, and let them know how much we appreciate their support. And be sure to buy lots of stuff from them, too!

Moto-Joe

We are pleased that one or more representatives of Moto-Joe often attend launches at Hartsel.  Moto-Joe sells reloads and hardware for many AeroTech and CTI motors, plus igniters and related launch supplies. Check their website to find out what's available.  If you need something specific, please make arrangements in advance, as what portion of their current stock gets brought to any given launch varies.

Giant Leap Rocketry

 

Altus Metrum

Altus Metrum is a leading manufacturer of flight computers and other electronics used in the rocketry hobby, including GPS and radio telemetry. All are completely open hardware and open source designs. The first-ever flight of a prototype of Altus Metrum's first product TeleMetrum happened at a Tripoli Colorado launch, and Bdale Garbee and his son Robert have a history of test flying new designs with us. Bdale doesn't bring inventory to our launches to sell, but can often be found flying and talking about what he and his business partner Keith Packard are working on next.  However, if you purchase something from his store at shop.gag.com, he is often willing to deliver orders in-person at launches he plans to attend in Colorado to save you a few dollars on shipping.

Next Event

Many thanks to all the folks who attended our anual all Colorado Rocketry Banquet-it was a big sucess and everyone had a great time.

Our first launch of the year will be on April 19th (weather permitting). Please dress appropriately for Colorado spring weather at 8,800 feet and don’t forget sunscreen and water. Our standing wavier is up to 7,000 ft. AGL but our waiver can be extended to 14, 200 ft. AGL. Please let me know if you are planning on going high when you arrive so I can call in the launch window. We generally launch from 8AM until around 2PM or until the wind picks up. As always, please check the website and Facebook for any last minute changes or cancellations before heading to Hartsel.
