May SoAR Launch Today At Lilly
The May SoAR Launch will take place at GAMMA’s launch site, the sod farm at Lilly, GA, this Saturday from 10AM to 5PM. We’ll also fly on Sunday, but ONLY if enough people commit to being there all day and will help out with the break down of the range at the end of the day. If you want to fly Sunday, you must contact Kevin Scholberg.
This launch will NOT be a Mini-GRITS launch like last time. There will be no on-site motor vendor (though on Saturday, Leonard should have some limited inventory to sell).
