OTHER:
Tripoli Cherryfield flys monthly on one of the largest
and most scenic launch sites in the north.
Our launches are attended by flyers from all over
and are really appreciated by people who
'are tired of standing in line'. We have a
great group and lots of interesting rockets,
beautiful scenery,wild animals,and wilder rocketeers.
We are always open to new members
and interested spectators but it is recommended
that you call or e-mail before coming,just in case
of some last minute change. Come on up
to Cherryfield,its worth the drive! 

Additional:
Always call or e-mail before coming,
just in case of any last minute changes

Sponsors:

Our thanks to landowners
Jasper Wyman & Son

Thanks to the Maine Department of
Transportation for use of the Deblois
Airstrip as an alternate launch site.
