Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:RRLLogo.jpg

message: I noticed today that several of the existing sources now are dead links; I've tagged them.  Here are a few good links to three sources from Space.com from the 2005-2007 timeframe, that are still live in late 2009.  
*3 Oct 2005, Rocket Racing: New League Promotes High-Flying Contest , Space.com
*14 Sep 2006, Rocket Racing League: Spreading Its Wings, Space.com
*26 Oct 2007, Three More Teams Enter the Rocket Racing League, Space.com
There are only two sources in the RRL article today that are still online-accessible, both are from 2008, and both are reliable sources.  Therefore, these older links may be useful for future editors of this article.  In the meantime, I'll be looking for more recent sources, from 2009  N2e (talk) 18:58, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Historical sources 

message: This just appeared on the Armadillo Aerospace website:  Rocket Racing League takes full ownership of rocket operations!, 2010-01-27.  AA is the rocket technology provider for the RRL.  Looks like RRL has hired several full-time rocket operations staff for the two aircraft they currently have. N2e (talk) 11:20, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: And RRL will apparently be at the Tulsa Air Show in April, 2010, according to this very brief Greater Tulsa Reporter news article, 13 Feb 2010. N2e (talk) 23:12, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  RRL is adding staff and taking over rocket operations from their supplier 

message: The article now claims, with citations, that the current crop of two X-Racers utilize a "highly modified Velocity XL FG (www.velocityaircraft.com) airframe and a single Armadillo Aerospace (www.armadilloaerospace.com) 2,500 pound thrust liquid oxygen (LOX) and ethanol rocket engine."  That's good, as far as it goes.  Can anyone find a more complete set of aircraft specs?  (e.g., weight in X-Racer/single-pilot/fully-fueled configuration?)  I would guess we could incorporate the airframe length, height, width specs from the velocity site (http://www.velocityaircraft.com/airplane-specifications.html) for the XL airframe.  What about "gross weight" (as opposed to RRL racing weight)?  Would it be fair to assume that gross weight could not safely be more than Velocity rates the basic airframe:  2800 lbs?
