For those of you who are interested in Research motors, all of the MDRA launches operate under "independent" insurance rules so research and commercial motors are allowed at all times. BattlePark launches use a similar set-up as Dragon's Fire; commercial launching on Saturday, research on Sunday.

Even though Tripoli Pittsburgh does not conduct launches during the winter months here in Southwest Pennsylvania there are other clubs in the region that fly all winter long. This is our list of launches available during our off season held by other groups and organizations. If you just gotta launch a rocket you may want to check these out.

I don’t have MDRA’s winter launch schedule, other than their regional Red Glare XI launch, but generally they hold two-day launches on the third weekend of the month.

For those of you interested in research launches, Red Glare and all of the other MDRA launches operate under “independent” insurance rules so commercial and research motors are allowed at all times.  BattlePark launches use a similar set-up as Dragon's Fire; commercial launching on Saturday, research on Sunday. Drive times are in parenthesis and are approximate driving time from the Pittsburgh area. More information-including last minute changes due to weather-can be obtained from the respective clubs' websites.
