Hi all,

We are go for launch on Sunday the 30th. Ill be on site at 7 AM. If we are set up we can have a quick safety meeting, and begin launching at 8 AM. Please let me know if you are planning 7,000 ft AGL or higher (up to 14,200 ft AGL), first thing in the morning, so we can get a window.

As always observers and guests are welcome. You must be a NAR or Tripoli national member to launch High Power. Flight cards will be required prior to every flight. Please note that we have a new form to sign which protects the landowner. All flyers and guests will need to sign it. Camping is never allowed on site.

Hope so see you all there!
