It has just been announced that Tripoli Central California has been selected by the TRA board of directors to host LDRS 37 in May of 2018.

TCC launches south-west of Fresno, and you may have heard of their “Dairy Aire” launch.

We will be looking forward to more details, but please pencil in LDRS 37 as May 16 to 20, 2018.

The Reaction Research Society is hosting a “Rocket and Space Exhibit and Symposium” April 22, in Gardena. More information is available on their webpage: http://www.rrs.org

Here is their flier for the event.

ROC will be an exhibitor and have a table to promote hobby rocketry and our club. We are looking for ROC flyers interested in helping out at our table. The general plan is to have a couple of rockets representing model and high power, and other information about the hobby.

If you are interested in helping with our table, please email David Smith.

​The Board has decided to cancel the February launch.  Although most of the lakebed and our actual launch site is in remarkably good condition, the entrances are not.  The back way in has one section that is marginally passable for some vehicles. Towing the ROC equipment trailer to the site is not possible at this time, nor is access for the porta potty delivery truck.

Keep working on your projects and plan to attend the March launch.  The access roads should be in acceptable condition by then if the weather cooperates.

Mike Ostby,

Due to the wet condition of the lakebed and expected rain in the coming week the ROC board has decided to cancel the January 14 launch.

We look forward to flying as soon as it is safe and practical to do so.
