" I'm imagining the DC area is not the best place to fly the G and higher-power rockets. Is there any place around here to do the bigger stuff? "



I used to live and fly in Southern MD but am now in Baltimore. I've attended a few High power launches out in Culpepper. They always have model rocket pads set up as well. Here's the link, http://www.colonialvirginiahpr.org/. A short trip across the bay bridge (MD) to the Eastern shore takes you to MD/Delaware Rocketry Assn, http://www.mdrocketry.org/. Both do a number of HPR launches a year. Additionally I think there's a NAR group flying out near NASAs Greenbelt facility, Model and mid power if memmory serves. Good luck and keep'em flying.
