The Saturn Rocketry Club in Hendersonville is currently switching their launch field. As soon as we know where they land we will post it. Their FB site is HERE

NC Rocketry flies at Bayboro, NC in the northeast part of the state, information is HERE

 Set-up starts at about 9:30, launches commence about 10:30. Field closes about 60 min. before local dusk so we can clean up. Watch the site front page for specifics. Also visit us on FaceBook. You can also check for the FAA NOTAM at https://notams.aim.faa.gov/notamSearch/nsapp.html#/ and using KCLT (Charlotte) as the location. This will give you the starting and ending times for HP flights. 

* If field is available due to crops, etc.

I posted an update on the home page.

I think what we're hoping for is the wheat gets harvested in early-mid June and we may get a chance to launch in June /July before the other end of the farm is taken out by soy beans (?).

At least Kip is making a profit farming. My biggest fear is new sub-division.

Spoke to Kip June 3rd, Wheat is still in the field (Has not dried down enough to harvest) and corn is starting to grow (8 inches tall) now that it is warming up. It will not get cut this week. He said he will call me when it comes out. At a minimum we may be 3rd weekend and then Corn will have to be evauated.
