Model Forum / General / Rockets / September 2003New Club and Field in Pennsylvania!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Mechanicsburg, PA Central Pennsylvania Rocketeers, a new rocket club with NAR Section status pending, announced today that they have procured a new flying field on the grounds of the Penn Township Fire Company property located in Newville, PA. The 180 acres of property has approximately 100 acres planted in grass, 60 acres planted in crops and 20 acres covered by buildings and parking areas. C.P.R. President Tom Ha stated that the new club would be opening up access to any NAR section that wants to fly there, whether for sport or competition events. Tom went on to state, "This new field will allow us to support thousands of local Boy Scouts working on their Space Exploration merit badge, as well as other local groups such as the 4-H and Civil Air Patrol. We are glad to have this opportunity and want to thank the Fire Company for supporting us." Monthly sport launches will be held, with dates to be announced through area hobby shops and publications. Central Pennsylvania Rocketeers supports model rocketry in the greater Harrisburg/West Shore/Carlisle area. C.P.R. promotes rocketry as a safe, fun way to provide educational experiences to kids of all ages.

You should at least be able to get it up to FAA exempt (113g 240H) with no problem. Beyond that there are really no local restrictions preventing HPR so long as the items being operated are recoverable aeromodels.

Also it's a NAR club so they would know how their field fits within those limitations.
