<span style="font-size: 12pt;">To be blunt, since the students return there has been a uptick in COVID infections, and being a VT student launch, it's likely that 10-20% of the attending student attendees WILL likely be COVID positive (</span><a href="https://ready.vt.edu/dashboard.html" title="https://ready.vt.edu/dashboard.html"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">given
the latest test statistics</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt;">). So we can't mess around or let our guard down here.</span></div>

<p style="margin:0; padding:0; font-family:arial; font-size:12pt">Students, your rocket should be completely assembled (minus the HP motor) 24hrs before the launch (so that all epoxy is fully cured).</p>
<p style="margin:0; padding:0; font-family:arial; font-size:12pt"> </p>
<p style="margin:0; padding:0; font-family:arial; font-size:12pt">No rocket needing any on-field, major component construction or repairs will be approved to fly (no fin attachments/epoxing, shock cord mount repairs, motor retention, non-removable rail/lug
mounts, load/stress bearing component work, etc). All such construction should be accomplished at least 24hrs before the launch.</p>
<p style="margin:0; padding:0; font-family:arial; font-size:12pt"> </p>
<p style="margin:0; padding:0; font-family:arial; font-size:12pt">The listed flyer should have been responsible for the rocket construction (no stand ins), especially for cert flights (certs are for individuals only).</p>

<p style="margin:0; padding:0; font-family:arial; font-size:12pt">Flyers attempting a certification flight are not to posses high power motors they are not already certified to handle. To be clear, an uncertified flyer may not bring, handle, load their own
H or I motor without certified flier, mentor or RSO oversight.[1]</p>
