• GARLO is a purely-for-fun rocket launch. NAR Safety Code approved rockets only. This year's theme is in honor of the 50th anniversary of the U. S. space program and the founding of NASA. We will be featuring models of rockets used in the U. S. space program. We will be awarding ribbons and prizes for the winners of several fun (for fun) events:
  • Best Model of a U. S. Space Program Rocket
  • Best of Show (Static)
  • Best of Show (Flying)
  • Spot Landing (controlled and uncontrolled)
  • Best Model of a rocket designed or inspired by Wernher von Braun
  • Best looking and most imaginative big-finned rocket in the style of the 50’s

• There will be a potluck cookout dinner at the home of one of the CIA members after the launch. We'll have burgers, etc. and suggest that people bring salads, side dishes, desserts and drinks. Check back later for more details and directions.

• We have an FAA waiver to 4000' MSL (~3250' AGL), H motor limit (320 nt-sec)

• As usual we will be issuing a GARLO 2008 shirt. Check back later for color, final artwork and other details. The price will be $15.00. As always these will be a limited edition collectors item. We will have a few extra for sale at the launch, but if you want to guarantee yourself a GARLO 2008 shirt we must receive your order ASAP. Call Jonathan at 217/359-8225 or by email at jsivier@uiuc.edu to place your order. Be sure to specify number and size(s).
