DARS will be hosting a HP launch next Saturday for all fliers in North Texas, and anyone from more distant locales who would like to join. Fliers of all levels are welcome, as well as spectators. There is always the possibility the launch will be scrubbed due to weather or burn bans, so check the website prior to heading out (www.dars.org).
The grass last month was a lovely shade of brown, so there will be no sparky motors allowed. Let me know if you need any additional info.

Fixable with some drying out, new tube for the forward bay and a new nose cone.
