Model Forum / General / Rockets / April 2004

The next CATO launch is scheduled for Sunday, April 18th, at the
Sterling, CT field, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There is a Saturday

PLEASE NOTE: Recent heavy rainstorms have left a lot of standing water

If APCP is no longer regulated according to the USR website (?) how
can I buy some USR or other motors? I could not find a link to buy
them.
I would like to buy some J ank K motors if they are available. I'm new

All,
Thanks for participating in the vote on permanent certifications.

To all,
Prefect Gary Dickinson, (Prefecture #31 ), and Tripoli Mid Ohio are
sponsoring a launch this Saturday. The weather has been miserable this

If a rocket hurts somebody at an ARSA launch won't the lawyers have a
field day? I would think they would be all over the organization for
sponsoring "renegade" flying.

rained on my parade one too many times.
