Subject: Midwest High Power Rocket Competition this Sunday and Monday
From: Tripoli Minnesota




Hi all!
 
The Midwest High Power Rocket Competition launch is schedules for tomorrow, Sunday 5/17.
 
To learn more about this competition for College and University teams see here:

The weather looks mixed and the forecast still is in flow, but at the moment it looks like it will be good to fly from 8:00 am to about 2:00 pm on Sunday, and again on Monday, in case we do not get all rockets launched on the first day.
 
We will meet Sunday at 7 am to set up the field and open the waiver at 8 am.
 
Come and help with the event by volunteering as RSO, LCO or pad guide! And as a volunteer you can also fly your own rocket.
 
Best regards
 
Carsten Franke
Treasurer Tripoli MN
