Are you experiencing Rocket Exhaust With-drawl symptoms?
I suggest attending = The National Rocketry Association’s Annual “Sport Launch”.
Sat, 23 May – Sun, 24 May - Mon, 25 May.
Hosted by the Orangeburg NAR (ROSCO) and Tripoli (ICBM) Chapters.
Check NAR Official NSL web site = nsl2015.com
Even if your not planning to fly, it is well worth it to go and just watch the show.
Multiple venders are available for those things that you haven’t been able to get hold of for a while.
Being a national Sport Event, you can expect fliers to come come from as far North as Maine as far south as Florida and as far west as California, seriously dude..
Fliers or groups who have a rocket project that they can only fly once a year, and want it to be seen, will bring it here. So you can always expect a show.
Not to say that there are no Low or Mid Power fliers. The kids can outnumber the adults.
Usually, they have at least 12 or more Low Power pads set up with 12 or more Mid Power and High Power pads, and about 4 High Power Away Cells.
So there is usually no back ups with plenty of pads available.
