Comment from the Contest Director: Sept. 19th
Yes, the launch will take place. We just won't fly High Power models if
there is no waiver. We still have a month before the event, so FAA waivers
may be available by then, we will have to wait and see. The waiver doesn't
effect the contest part of the event. There will be lots of Model Rocket
Flights!
Fly'em High,
Rod Schafer
