[NRV Rocketry] [NRVR-Launches] NRV Rocketry Launch This Saturday (7/21), 10am-3pm

[Thomas Weeks]

We did the full site survey tonight, and the map showing where to park and how 
the launch site is laid out has been redesigned a bit, but everything else is 
the same:
	http://nrvr.org/launches/files/Sinkland-Farms-Launch-Site_map.pdf

Low/Medium power only, <3.3lb rockets, G and under motors only, 3,000ft 
ceiling, etc.

Let us know if anyone has any questions, and please remember, this is an 
NRVR/VT launch only as we need to keep things manageable this first time 
around.

Thanks all,

Tweeks
