[06/17/2009] June 27 Launch
As of now, a June launch will be held at the Tinseltown launch site.
Keep an eye on this website for any changes or additions to the
launch calendar. A launch at the Luling site will be added with
expressed interest.
[04/01/2009] New Launch Site - Luling
Good
news regarding launch sites. SOLAR launches are now being held at
a newly discovered larger site near Luling, LA. Several "test
launches" were held and recently the site even hosted a TARC Team for
qualification flights. Obviously the site is capable of handling
larger/higher flights than the Tinseltown site. Reports are that
it can definitely handle E and possibly some F powered flights,
depending of course on the expected altitude. See the Launches page for directions to the new field.
[01/01/2008] 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.
