Years ago they used to allow the Purdue University Armory (Lafayette, IN)
to be used. The next time I go down there I will check and see if it is
possible to connect with someone. However, with Purdue Research Foundation
setting prices it might be expensive unless I can find someone in the
school of Aeronautical Engineering to act on behalf of a school group and
obtain usage of the site. Purdue used to have a rule against vendors on
site but its been so long I have no idea what the current situation is. At
one time there was talk that if allowed Purdue Research Foundation wanted
5-10% of all sales. Let me know if you would like me to check.
