Description |
|
MDRA
Website |
The Marryland Delaware Rocketry Association.
Their launches are not sponsored by the NAR or
TRA, but they have their own insurance policy in
place. To take advantage, one must pay the
member dues of 25.00 to fly at their field.
They do, however, require you to follow
HPR cert levels through NAR or TRA. |
|
NAR Website |
The National Association of Rocketry. A
national organization specializing in model
rocketry and contests, but offers 3 levels of
high power certification to its users. |
|
WVSOAR Website |
NAR #564. A club serving western WV,
eastern KY, and south eastern OH. Several
members are high power certified and the field
is capable of supporting up to mid K launches.
A 10,000 ft. ASL waiver is in place at most
launches, however, succesful recovery from that
altitude is near impossible without a chain saw,
boat, and/or GPS tracking unit(s). |
