As I mentioned in my intro post, I've been away for a couple of decades. I've never actually launched in a big club environment.
How does it work?
Yes, I've seen many YouTube videos, and I'm already investigating clubs near me; looks like ROC is the closest, but TRG, DART and Tripoli San Diego are all reasonably close, so I intend to attend a launch as soon as I can, I was just hoping for an overview of what it's like flying on a controlled line. It seems like it's pretty similar to being on a rifle shooting line in terms of the range safety (though, obviously, only the LCO gets to push the button instead of everyone pulling their own triggers :y.
Ultimately, I'm interested in getting in to high-power, once I've built and flown a few low- and mid-power rockets. Does Tripoli also do low/mid or is it strictly a high-power endeavor when you're flying with a Tripoli club?
Thanks
