[07/07/2008]  "Sky of Gold" Mass Launch
As part of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the beginning of Estes Rockets and to honor the promotion and support that Vern and Gleda Estes put forth towards the rocketry hobby, SOLAR is participating in the month long celebration.  On July 12th, a special SOLAR launch will be held which will include a "mass launch" of SEMROC Golden Scout rockets.  Bring your Scout out if you have one and if you don't, you are still invited out to witness the event.  Bring your other rockets out also!  Rain out date will be July 26th.

  New Launch Site Needed
Due to ever increasing encroachment of development surrounding the Tinseltown field, SOLAR is is dire need of a new location for upcoming launches.  The ideal site would be large enough to launch mid-power flights but for now we would settle for something possibly less.  If anyone has an ideas or has contacts with a land owner, please contact one of the officers.  The Section can provide proof of liability insurance if the land owner would like.
