Lance --- just FYI, I grew up in Lima (Elida, actually) and moved to Milwaukee about 6 years ago.

I, too, never got into mid or high-power because of "no local club"....the closest was MIVARS (Miami Valley Rocket Society) down in Dayton...I went to a couple of their launches, but I couldn't convince my wife that the logistics were acceptable for me to go 70-odd miles whenever I wanted to launch rockets...so I stuck with "D" power and below, and flew 'em in fields around the house.

Very best of luck to you, though...maybe someday there'll be a club in northwest Ohio. Heck, maybe YOU'LL be the one to start it!
