This is a model rocket launch for MTMA/NAR members-only. Non-MTMA members who are NAR members are invited to participate and fly the NRC events.

The launch will be conducted in accordance with the NAR Model Rocket Safety Code ( https://www.nar.org/safety-information/model-rocket-safety-code/ ). G-impulse max. No high power.

In the event of poor flying conditions, the following Sunday will be the backup flying date. Stay tuned for last minute updates.

We fly until everyone has had enough, or 6:00 pm, whichever happens first.

Please park in the main parking lot. Do not drive out into the field. The MTMA NRC launch is to be run concurrently with our scheduled model rocket launch and has no separate schedule. This launch is an officially sanctioned event of the National Association of Rocketry. Anyone may participate, but only NAR members will have their flight performance entered on the National Score Board.

The events are:
1/2 Parachute Duration
1/2A Streamer Duration
1/2A Helicopter Duration
1/2A Boost Glider Duration
1/2A Altitude
B Payload Altitude

The event rules are found in the U.S. Model Rocket Sporting Code.

Altimeter Usage: Fliers must either check to see if MTMA supports downloading data from your altimeter, or bring the equipment necessary to do so.
Payloads: Fliers must supply their own NAR Standard Payloads, but they must be inspected and approved by the Contest Director prior to launch.
