Re: [APML] OT: 1/4 Scale Battlestar Viper Success.

["Hap Griffin" <lgriffin@sc.rr.com>]

High-power rocketry is another of my hobbies as well.  If anyone is going to
be in South Carolina this coming weekend, my group will be hosting the
annual "Freedom Launch" at our flying field near Orangeburg...at the
intersection of Hwy 601 and I-20...Saturday, Sunday and Monday.  It's a
large regional meet with several hundred attendees and LOTS of big rockets!
(assuming Hurricane Francis doesn't hit us)
