Hello Everyone!
I hope you all had a very Happy and Safe Holiday Season!
Here is what’s happening in South Florida Rocketry.
Vista View Park has confirmed for our January 7th, 2012 launch date.
So far the weather is looking pretty good for our first Launch of 2012!
Partly sunny
75°F
wind speed: 7 mph SSE
wind gusts: 16 mph
As you can see from our headline, the next BARS Launch will be on Saturday, January 7th, 2012 starting at 9:00AM. I usually get there between 8:00AM and 8:30AM to setup the Tent, the Launch Equipment and Pads. Your help is appreciated.
Vista View Park allows us to fly 1/4A’s to G motors.
Our Ground Support Equipment includes custom 1-pad, 3-pad and 7-pad Launch Controllers, a Six Pad Rack with 1/8″, 3/16″ and 1/4″ Launch Rods and a Quad-Pod for those of you whose Mid Power Rockets need a Launch Rail or a 1/2″ Rod. We are covered for just about anything you can launch in our field.
Thank you to all of you who continue to donate to our Launch Fund. We will continue to offer a free Model Rocket Kit for a $10.00 or higher Donation. Your voluntary donations help cover our equipment and permit costs and it also allows us not to have to charge Club Dues or monthly per person flight fees which most Rocketry Clubs do.
All NAR and Vista View Park Safety Rules are in EFFECT! Let’s have a SAFE DAY!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who have been coming to our Launches.
I cannot express how much I appreciate all of you joining us month after month no matter what the weather is and spending most of a day doing what we love, launching Model Rockets!
I have seen the group grow from a few individuals to over 100 people and I am simply amazed!
I want to wish all of you and your family’s a very Happy and Safe Holiday season and we look forward to seeing all of you at our first launch of 2012 on January 7th.
Take Care,
