Which one of the two hotels will be the 'official meet' place to stay?
Shouldn't this Thread be better located in the National Events section?

I was just about to start a thread on this and low and behold there's already one.
Some thing came up and the banquet is NOT going to be at one of the Hotels. The NSL2013.org website will be updated very soon on the new location. For now I would like to add some info on what will be taking place during the banquet.
I've arranged to have hundreds of old Estes show models available for people to view before and after the Saturday Night Banquet, they may even be in the banquet room with us while we dine. Some of these model date back 40 years with the Cameroc Two stage model as just one example. I'll even have some of the new stuff I've designed these past couple years there for all to see as well. I'm sure I'll be able to dig up some other Old Estes stuff to show as well.
Bill Stine will be presenting a talk about his dads company Model Missiles Inc. He will also try to bring a few artifacts to display. I for one know very little about Model Missiles and look forward to learning about what I believe was the first model rocket company in the US.
Vern Estes will be presenting a talk as well. I could tell you what it was going to be about but what fun would that be.

How many could we get into flight at the same time?

Art Applewhite Rockets Stealth Rockets ascend rapidly and spinning as they leap skyward. They are very stable in flight, even in high winds. At apogee they flip over and descend slowly using aerobrake and helicopter recovery. Preparation is quick and easy and recovery is foolproof. These kits are intended for the rocketeer looking for a new challenge and something out of the ordinary. With their high visibility and dramatic ascent and recovery, they are real crowd pleasers. NO long walks to recover your rocket even on a windy day.

The banquet will be held at Picasso Italian Grill.
I just wanted to remind everyone that Registrataion for this event is open at www.nsl2013.org.
The banquet will be held at Picasso Italian Grill. NSL will have the whole resturant to ourselves. This place is located about four miles from the Hotels. Next door will be a large vacant room where the Estes Display Models can be viewed before and after the dinner.

Any chance of a tour of Estes facilities?
Sorry but this could not be arrange, but there will be few hundred rocket display models that Estes has used for magazine images and show models for the past 40 years on display at the Banquet.

Will there be any hybrid support at NSL?
Ok, I've confirmed that all of the critical components of the COSROCS Massively Parallel Launch Complex (MPLC) are still available! This is the rig used at the 2003 LDRS and featured in the Discovery Channel Rocket Challenge program. See attached photo of the full set-up from LDRS. The MPLC can accommodate up to 256 rockets on the main platforms, and up to 288 with outboard launcher extensions.
So, don't build just one, build a dozen... Let's fill it up!
