Southern Colorado Rocketeers Event

From the Southern Colorado Homeschoolers Yahoo Group:

The Southern Colorado Rocketeers (NAR Section #632) announces its
schedule for Model Rocket Building and Flying for 2007.

Model Rocket "Make and Take" Building sessions are held on the
SECOND SATURDAY of the month at the Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum
located on the grounds of the Pueblo Memorial Airport (PUB). The
aircraft museum is located six miles east of Pueblo, CO on US Highway
50 East/Colorado 96 East. Museum admission is $3 for persons aged 10
years and over. This is half the normal museum admission price. The
rockets are free. A pack of three motors may be purchased in the
museum gift shop for $6. This is a building only session and flying
is done one week later at the clubs' launch site on the Hudson Ranch
located southwest of Pueblo Colorado. Building time starts at 9 AM
and takes approximately one and a half hours to complete. Instruction
includes model rocket safety and basic instruction on how a model
rocket works and basic aerodynamics. Call or email the club to see
how "Make and Take" can be brought to your location.

Model Rocket Flying is held on the THIRD SATURDAY of the month
on the grounds of the Hudson Ranch. Go 9.5 miles South West on
Colorado Highway 78 (Beulah Highway) and turn right into the drive
way. Follow the signs to the launch site. This is a working ranch so
please close the gates. The section has an FAA Waiver to 8,000 feet
Above Ground Level (AGL). The club provides launch equipment for most
model and large model rockets. Those wishing to fly High Power
Rockets (HPR) should contact the club if you require special ground
support equipment. Flying generally starts at 9 AM and concludes by 1
PM.

Model rocket flying may also be brought to a location such as a
school or church with a suitable area for flying nearby. Please
contact the club for additional information.

There is no charge to fly model or large model rockets. Non club
members flying High Power Rockets (those persons required to hold an
L1, L2, or L3 license issued by the National Association of Rocketry
(NAR), Tripoli, or comparable licence issued by the Canadian
Association of Rocketry (CAR) ) are requested to pay a $5 launch fee
for the day. There are no fees for club members. Call or email the
