Looking forward to this. Will have to check out the website for fee schedule

The urrg.us web site should be hyperlinked.

The email address for outreach@urrg. is incomplete and should also be hyperlinked.

 

[morgan2521]

Fantastic, looking forward to it! Time to plan some flights!!

 

[rmpitzer]

Do we reserve our spot during the registration process as was done in previous LDRS's at Potter? Or do we pick our spot when we arrive at the field?

Thanks!

Hi Rich. This time other then the vendors and some BFR Flyers most of the sites will be first come first serve. The sites will be marked out 15ft by 45 ft to allow for a tent and parking behind it. There will be three rows the front line and two behind, We will have a designated place for spectator parking.

 

[DragonRocketry]

Is there a vendor registration area? Not finding anything on the site.

 

[Rschub]

There is a vendor registration button at the bottom right of the page.

Awesome that you're planning on being there Scott! Should be some Dragon kit flights there for sure.

God willing, I will be there. Had a blast the last time LDRS was at potter.

What are the lengths of the 1010 and 1515 rails at URRG? Thanks!

It will be great to meet you.

Looking forward to this! Planning to combine a visit with mom/sibs with LDRS.

I am concerned that there are so many people I'm going to want to meet that I won't have time to do any rocket stuff.

Only half joking.

Good reminder that name tags with your TRF handle would be a good idea if you're interested in meeting other TRF'ers.

I'll have one, hope others do the same.

 

[burritoman1]

Will experimental motors be allowed as long as the rocket doesn't go above the flight ceiling?

 

[cbrarick]

they are primarily a EX club.

just making sure, thanks!

just wait to see what i have cooked up for the big nuke 3e drag race....
Guaranteed to be cool or really cool.

That's kind of my fear also. We're staying at The Finger Lakes Campground about 25 minutes from the launch site. It was the closest campground with full hook ups, and that is only in the Cabernet Loop area. All the roads in the campground are named for wines since the finger lakes area is the wine area in NY. We're getting there a couple days early and staying a few days after so we can check out the area and all the wineries. I believe there are more then 50 wineries around Seneca Lake alone.

 

[neil_w]

Hit enough wineries and you won’t *care* about the rocket stuff.

 

[Handeman]

Hit enough wineries and you won’t *care* about the rocket stuff.

That is probably true! The wineries and site seeing is primarily for the better half. She tolerates the rockets because we can travel. LDRS41 was only 4 days out of a six week RV trip, so she's happy. Hoping to get west of the Mississippi over the next few years so I can get in some really high flights.

 

[Larry W]

What are the lengths of the 1010 and 1515 rails at URRG? Thanks!

Any news with Country Charm camp-ground? Are they still an option?

Any news with Country Charm camp-ground? Are they still an option?

I booked a few weeks ago and saw it recommended in a post here.
It was slim pickings at the time and I ended up with a spot opposite the "DUMP" (maybe I'll find rocket scraps there ).

 

[dr wogz]

yeah, it's out usual when we do URRF, but it now says "full"..

didn't thing they would have filled up soooo fast! (We're still 6 months out!!)
