ROC Folks:
We are sorry to hear of your BLM permit issues and your canceled launches.
You are welcome to join us at our launches, but to warn you: the DART Fiesta
Island launches have its own unique rules.
DART is a NAR Section is operated under the NAR Model Rocket Safety Code.
The launch site is on a man-made island in the middle of Mission Bay and is
in the center of Class B Airspace. We have a waiver for a 1,000 ft ceiling
and can only launch between the bottom and the top of every hour, (i.e.
8:30am to 9:00am, 9:30am to 10:00am, Etc. until Noon). The field is only
1,000 ft wide so we are limited to G motors and lower. We usually have 15
lower power rods, and 5 mid-power, (E, F&G), launchers.
For launch dates and other information: please check out our website at:

Tripoli-San Diego conducts monthly launches from October to June in the
Plaster City East Off Highway Vehicle Area, that is 14 miles east of El
Centro, California. The Tripoli launches are the first full weekend of the
month and tend to be 1-1/2 to 2 day events depending on the weather and the
level of interest of our members. Our waiver is for Friday thru Sunday, with
a ceiling of 25,000 ft and has provisions for night flights.
We ask that if you plan on attending you contact us so we can gauge the need
for Portable Toilets.
You can check out our website for directions, information, and to join our
mail list at: http://www.tripolisandiego.org/
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me off the mail list.
See you at a launch,
John Bowman
