All club launches are fully insured, and occur on land where they have obtained permission from the owners or governing body. They file paperwork with the Federal Aviation Administration and communicate with the local Air Traffic Control facility to enhance safety, and to get permission (called a 'waiver') to fly the larger rockets.
Anyone is welcome to fly at these launches. The club maintains high quality launch gear, and has recovery wadding available on site. Just bring your rockets, engines and igniters, and you're all set!
For more details and weather cancelations check out their website or Facebook group.
