Congratulations on getting the field (& starting the new club), Tom. I'm eager to schlep up to PA to try it out. Let us know when the next launch is. -- Richard "could be nice" Hickok

I agree. Now reply to some of the posts in the thread with your name on it.

I have a suggestion. For once reply to MY posts and please be so kind as to do so with substance.

Thank you in advance.

Jerry

very nice, mind if i steal some of this wordsmithing for our club?

So far, "G". :)

Later, maybe more. We'll have to see how it goes, and make sure we get the Fire Company over it's jitters. Then maybe we'll open it up to more.

Tom

Not at all. I did it myself. :)

Tom

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.

Jerry

Agree but, I would want to abide by their wishes. Also it's a NAR club so they would know how their field fits within those limitations.

And does IEAS have liability insurance for the same low rate as the NAR? And does it support sport rocketry? Does it have the cachet and name of a group that is known for it's support for rocketry?

Besides, as was pointed out, the issue here is not field limitations nor what club... its' the wishes of the club President right now, and what he says, goes! :)

I really don't want anyone rocking the boat and going for HPR when we are supposed to be focused on assisting Scouts and such, who cannot legally own an HPR motor! When the time comes that we are comfortable with the field size and prevailing winds, and are not under the scrutiny of the Fire Company for any little issue, THEN we'll see about HPR. Until then, we'll fly what we can and be glad to be able to do it!

I can always travel to METRA or NEPRA if I wanna see HPR! :)

IEAS has weenie envy. 8-)

Yes. Approximately.

Yes.

Probably better than NAR at this pont since any objective analysis shows NAR to be anti-rocket.

RSO is GOD is a truism.

The National Association of Rocketry has granted Central Pennsylvania Rocketeers a Section Charter for Section #659, with insurance for the Fire Company arriving just one day after the Charter. With these documents in hand, C.P.R. is ready to move forward with plans to schedule launches and provide support for local groups in their rocketry hobbies.

See my other post under "Rocketry Open House".
