Main differences between NAR and TRA: (A) In TRA a prefect oversees L1 and L2 certifications; in NAR another NAR member is the cert authority. (B) Once certified Level 2 in TRA, you are permitted to test and launch homemade motors, albeit with certain restrictions on types of motors. In NAR homemade motors are not allowed, period.Hello. I've thought about joining NAR. Not sure what Tripoli is. I will check it out. I have a reasonably sized field behind my house that I can launch rockets for fun. Not really leaning towards the high powered side of things at this point.My 4 year old grandson lives about an hour away and there is an NAR club near there (Hudson, Ohio). I hope to get him involved in the hobby. Right now he likes his foam stomp rockets I got him for Christmas!
And your model-making and finishing skills are nothing short of awesome!
Finally: welcome!
Best,
Terry
