The NAR just sent out an edition of the Electronic Rocketeer to announce the new FAA regulations. This arrived so quickly after the new regulations were announced that you can apparently now include "Hot Off The Press" regulatory news as an additional NAR membership benefit. This is a huge improvement. Great work, guys!

In the Electronic Rocketeer Trip Barber also provided a link to the NAR Membership Survey Results. Really interesting reading with a number of surprising results (at least to me).

If you haven't read it, it's worth a look.

The only thing that surprised me was the number of people against going "web only" on sport rocketry. I guess given that most of the membership is over 40 (as am I) it shouldn't be surprising.

What surprised you Gus?

Mine hasn't arrived yet. Must have gotten lost in the mail...

Your magazine or the e-zine?

I usually get my magazine later than most who post here and I've had it a couple weeks.

I'd like to know who over at NAR HQ put this survey together?

I'm a bit peeved that YORF or YORS isn't listed in question 11. This site has been around longer than RP. And no, I'm not knocking RP.

Maybe this site got written in by people that chose "Other", but I don't know that since the results don't show what the "Others" were.

I did not get an "Electronic rocketeer" message either.

Have at it:

The e-zine. But I did have to let my membership lapse for a few months earlier this year when I had no money, and I only just renewed in October. I got the impression, though, that the Electronic Rocketeer had just been emailed to the membership (as in, yesterday or today). I haven't seen it in my Inbox yet. Like you, I also got my issue of Sport Rocketry a couple of weeks ago.
