Based in Dayton, we serve the southwestern Ohio region. We are a well-equipped section, with complete low-power and high-power ground support equipment like launch systems, pads, rods and rails, and PA equipment for on-the-field communications. We fly in accordance with the NAR Model and High Power Rocketry Safety Codes, so we\u2019re covered by the NAR\u2019s general liability insurance at our activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WSR is Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our members have literally centuries of building and flying experience. From the smallest MicroMaxx to giant high-power projects, wood glue to fiberglass and composites, simple park flyers to the most detailed and accurate scale models \u2013 we\u2019ve built them all. Got a project in your head that needs to get onto the work bench? New to dual-deployment? \u00a0Come see us. With local vendor support from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.erockets.biz\/\">eRockets<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.merlinmissiles.com\/\">Merlin Missiles<\/a>, all the parts are close at hand to make your dream project a reality! Drop in to one of our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sections.nar.org\/703\/build-night\/\">Tuesday night build sessions<\/a>, and you\u2019ll have the environment you need to focus on your build.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WSR is Outreach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most rewarding part of any hobby is introducing new people to it! We can make your group\u2019s introduction to rocketry enjoyable and safe. Our equipment and our people are the key to meeting your curriculum goals and getting you from the classroom to the launch pad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WSR is Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The NAR offers a rich competition program, where rocketeers use their skills to design and build rockets that will satisfy specific missions such as time spent aloft (duration events), carrying objects into the sky and returning them safely (payload and egg-lofting events), and making incredibly detailed and historically accurate models of rockets from the military, NASA and science fiction (scale events). WSR members excel in many of these events, and starting in 2015, we as a section began hosting regional competitions at our fields. To compete with us, you simply need to be a current NAR member (sign-ups are available at the field).<\/p>\n<p><strong>WSR Doesn\u2019t Stand Still<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re always up to something. We challenge ourselves. To us, good enough just isn\u2019t. We can always make it fly higher, faster, and safer. Our members strive to get the most out of rocketry, and we want to help you experience it too. Whether you\u2019re new to the hobby or you have rockets that have been stowed away for years, it\u2019s time to get to the pad and fly!
