Hi John, nice to meet ya'.
Crazy Jim, you out there? That's the fellow that can steer you in the right direction in your neighborhood. Have a little patience though, he sometimes only comes out at night.

welcome rocketry is like that, you get into it young and it hits you how cool it really is when you get older. There are great people into the hobby across the country you just happen to be close to one of the guys who's builds inspire people internationally. Just remember to pass it on to the youth around you, an older influence has amazing impact on youth. Rocketry provides alot of life lessons, responsibility, pride, honesty, hard work, and overall enjoyment in life and what you do with yours.

Howdy Johnboy,

I live on Bolton St. by Forsyth Park Downtown Savannah. Here is a link to the club I fly with when home in the South.

ICBM Tripoli & ROSCO Nar groups fly here.

Right down the road Orangeburg.... 95 to 26 to 301 exit. About 1/4 mile from exit to SuperSod farm where we launch on 2 sq. miles of sod farm. Takes me hour and half to hour to an hour + 45 min to get there, depending on traffic.

Every month of the year. We have all needed equipment.....just show up! They are always 2 day launches, should you wish to go the weekend,the Days Inn on other side of exit has special rates for rocket guys.

Waiver to 10,000 ft . We have a vendor Ken Allen Performance Hobbies

https://www.performancehobbies.com/ who brings his mobile store just about to every launch with all the motors and kits you could want or need.

So please consider this an invitation to come join us at the Crown Jewel of the South to fly or contact me for further info .

Been at St Patrick's for last few days, he knows what that's all about.
