The Tripoli Rocketry Association’s 31st annual national launch LDRS, is set for July 12 through 16, 2012 at Torrey Farms of Potter, NY. This former swamp nestled in the heart of the picturesque Finger lakes wine region, is now a productive farm has been the home to LDRS 28 and the Upstate Research Rocketry Group URRG since our inception.
An early launch organizer tagged their rocket meet as a gathering of Large and Dangerous Rocket Ships to set the event apart from the typical model rocket meets of the era. LDRS was born and has been an annual occurrence in the US ever since. LDRS-XXXI marks the 2nd time members of URRG have hosted LDRS. Flyers have come to Potter to enjoy our 22,500 FAA waiver and the miles of recovery area and the rocket friendly neighbors Potter offers.
Many flyers across the US and even some of our international friends set their project schedules to bring their large and unique rockets to LDRS. Over the years, many one-of-a-kind extreme projects have debuted at LDRS, and undoubtedly, LDRS-XXXI will be no exception.
