KLOUDBusters Membership Information
K.L.O.U.D.BUSTERS, Inc. is a non-profit organization existing to promote the hobby of rocketry. The club is a member of the Tripoli organization and our current prefect is Bob Brown.

We meet to fly rockets about once a month -- everyone is always welcome to come and join the fun! Come and watch, come and fly. If you are just getting started in high power rocketry you'll find lots of helpful people in this club. Several past and current KLOUDBusters members have been known throughout the country as some of the best mentors for someone just getting into high power and wanting to advance their skills set in the hobby.

If you are already a high power expert you'll find lots of space to fly the really big rockets. Member Darren Owens was well known for his very big and powerful rockets (perhaps you've read of his huge Fat Boy or 9 motor cluster Endeavor); or John Baumfalk's giant Patriot and of course his famous Honest John! The experience of watching the flights of Kent's awesome Talon series of rockets and hybrid flights is truly a thrill. Jim Cooper and Jay Bailey's huge up-scale Mars Lander, Bob Brown's redux of Darren's Fat Boy, or the club project KloudBusters MAX are signature projects of more recent members' effort.

Some wonder, "Is rocketry just for the guys or is it a family activity?" It's a FAMILY activity! Come out and camp overnight if you like ... the stars are very visible at night as there is no light pollution at the Rocket Pasture. Members have been known to bring out telescope for star-gazing. There is nothing quite like looking at the rings of Saturn and a few globular clusters before turning in for the night. Significant others are welcome (and have been known to fly some really impressive rockets of their own). Kids are welcome too (please keep an eye on them though, you'll want to be right next to your kids if anyone has a "heads-up" flight).
