Tripoli Minnesota Club Launch. Held the Second Saturday of the month at our field east of North Branch MN. Setup starts at around 8:00 AM and first flights at 9:00 AM. We fly until everyone is exhausted, usually about 4:00 PM.
Tripoli Minnesota is a High Power Rocketry Club. We launch many rockets of all sizes from small models to the obscenely large. Some are 20 feet or more tall. Rocketry is truly a family activity for all ages. Kids (and those young at heart) are welcome to come launch on our 6 low powered launch pads, while the adults get to play with the really big and beautiful high powered birds on our 6 high power pads. Even if you just come to watch, rocketry can be fun and even a little educational. Youth groups are welcome, but a little advanced warning would be nice.

Big Yeller: Largest Amateur Rocket in Minnesota
Submitted by noise on Mon, 05/25/2009 - 20:57.Tripoli MN hosted an experimental launch on 5/24/09 where they attempted to fly the largest amateur rocket ever launched in Minnesota. The rocket weighed in at 180 lbs and was supposed to go to 14,000-16,000 feet but only made it to about 8,000 feet because of some drag on the launch pad at liftoff. But it was a picture perfect launch and a perfect day, and lots of spectators turned up for the event.
A joint statement from Ken Good and Trip Barber regarding APCP regulation
Submitted by noise on Tue, 05/19/2009 - 11:42.Joint Statement on the BATFE Litigation
May 18, 2009
Since the U. S. Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms & Explosives has not
appealed the decision of the Federal District Court of March 16, 2009,
which ordered the agency to vacate their classification of APCP as an
explosive, and the period for their ability to do so has expired as of
May 16, 2009, on advice of counsel, we believe that the judgment is
considered final although we have not received confirmation from BATFE.
