Will be there for an L1 certification attempt. Might have additional launches.

I’m planning on Sunday for an L1 also — as long as I can secure a motor. (checking vendor attendance). I’ll bring along some Mid-Power rockets also. Looking forward to it.

Any pre-arrangements necessary?

We can support a cert flight.

Just a reminder, we will start setting up at 1700 today. Anyone who helps can set up their area tonight, but do not set up if we are not there or you will risk having to move.

 

[JWade]
