[NRVR-Members] Updated invitation: LAUNCH: Kentland High Power Research Launch @ Monthly from 9am to 5pm on the fourth Saturday from Sat Feb 26 to Sat Oct 28, 2023 (EST) (nrvr-members at nrvr.org)

Mon Aug 15 22:22:31 CDT 2022

Just to clarify the messy & confusing invite that just went out..

Unless announced.. all future launches will be commercial, not research launches.  So please let us know a couple weeks ahead of time if you need to fly a research motor.

Cheers,

T.Weeks
