Hello Fellow SLRAers,
The first is an updated promotional PDF.
The second is an update on event preparations and a proposed schedule for the day of the event. The yellow highlight indicates that either someone else besides me is providing it, or I need someone to take responsibility for . This is a club effort so the more members that participate, the .
A couple things to note:1. For this event we will be needing 3 launch racks. I have one and I believe the other two are in the SLRA Trailer. . One rack will be dedicated to the Mercury Redstone rockets, another will be for the scale replicas of the historic White Sands Missile Range and NASA rockets.. The third will be used for the Sport Range. 2. I currently have 9 mico clip chords and will need 10 more in order to have enough for all three launch racks.3. We will also need a couple more 1/8" and 3/16" rods to ensure we have enough.
4. I have highlighted the proposed scale reckets we could launch for the Historic White Sands/NASA launch activity. I have most of them but would like other SLRA members to provide them.5. There are some positions I am in need of Volunteers to staff on event day: Set-up, Sport Launch LSO, event RSO, loading rockets on the Mercury Redstone and Historic White Sands/NASA Launch Racks, and PA announcer6. I am in need of a car-sized battery for powering my Saturn V Launch Pad.7. We still are in need of awards for the Precision Duration Lunar Spot Landing Competition. My thought is to obtain sponsorship to provide an Estes plastic Saturn V and an SLA rocket for the winners of the Junior (Falcon) and Senior (Endeavour) Class.
I am going to contact Ron from Belleville Wholesale Hobby to see if he would be willing to sponsor our event.
I look forward to hearing back from y'all!
Happy Rocketeering!!
Your President,Dave
