Here are some other launch opportunities in our area:

ICBM & ROSCO, better known as Rocketry South Carolina, flies near Dalzelle, SC., Just NE of Shaw AFB.  More information can be gotten at their site HERE

The Saturn Rocketry Club in Hendersonville is currently switching their launch field. As soon as we know where they land we will post it. Their FB site is HERE

 Set-up starts at about 9:30, launches commence about 10:30. Field closes about 60 min. before local dusk so we can clean up. Watch the site front page for specifics. Also visit us on FaceBook. You can also check for the FAA NOTAM at https://notams.aim.faa.gov/notamSearch/nsapp.html#/ and using KCLT (Charlotte) as the location. This will give you the starting and ending times for HP flights.

Team America Rocketry Challenge 2011

DateSaturday, October 30, 2010 at 8:25PM

Registration ends November 30th

We're right in the middle of the TARC registration process, which started on the 8th of September and runs untill the 30th of November.

Some basic info from the NAR website:

Team America Rocketry Challenge 2011's target flight duration of 40-45 seconds is measured from the moment of rocket liftoff until the egg payload lands. The target flight altitude of 750 feet is measured by an onboard electronic altimeter. The top 100 teams from among all those who have entered will meet in a final fly-off competition on May 14, 2011 at Great Meadow, The Plains, VA. These top 100 teams will be selected based on the duration and altitude scores reported from local qualification flights that they conduct in front of an NAR Senior (adult) member observer at their choice of time up until the flight deadline of April 4, 2011

More information can be found HERE. I know that we have plenty of senior members available (some of us more "senior" than others!) to help and I believe that we've had 2 teams that members have mentored to take first place in the contest. If you're looking for a mentor for a team, or looking for a place to fly your research and qualification flights, use the email link and drop us a line!
