Sadly, the launch listed in the Greeley Trib article didn't happen due to technical difficulties. Next year for sure!

Thanks for all the links.

Hi TK: Could you elaborate on "technical difficulties", please? I'm starting to help the local Boy Scouts and Civil Air Patrol cadets with their rocket launches. I'm happy to get any "lessons learned" about hosting group events. Thanks! Will

The launch went fine. It was just the one big project that was cannceled.

Make sure that the equipment is in good order, clips cleaned, launch rods straight, etc.

Have a person (or persons) assigned to help the new fliers. Most first-timers do just fine, but ocassionally one needs lots of extra help.

What Jim said much better than I could. I didn't check the NCRocketry website and was doing other (not nearly as fun) things on the day of the launch but the only mention in the Gnarly Trombone was that the biggie was scrubbed.
