Tripoli MN hosted an experimental launch on 5/24/09 where they attempted t' fly t' largest amateur rocket ever launched in Minnesota. T' rocket weighed in at 180 lbs and was supposed t' go t' 14000-16000 feet but only made it t' about 8000 feet because o' some drag on t' launch pad at liftoff. Blimey! But it was a picture perfect launch and a perfect day, and lots o' spectators turned up for t' event.
