ROCC 2024-2025 Launch Schedule:
NO launch in May due to the wheat. We hope to fly in June.
All launches are at the Midland, NC site unless otherwise stated.*
Here are some other launch opportunities in our area:
ICBM & ROSCO, better known as Rocketry South Carolina, flies near Dalzelle, SC., Just NE of Shaw AFB. More information can be gotten at their site HERE
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.

Second message, more details...
I have a large variety of “stuff”.
I am about 40 minutes south of Asheville near Brevard, NC or about 2 1/2 hours drive from Charlotte downtown.
Price is negotiable. My rockets include a narrow 5’ kit built rocket that could take several sized large engine with an insert for smaller engines, a home built 4’ rocket, a kit built supersonic rocket, several smaller rockets. All of these can use high-power engines. Plus several Estes kit rockets. Also a large plastic “tool” box with all kinds of rocket gear. I also have several Aerotex engines, casings for reloads, and smaller Estes engines. Also a bunch of insulation wadding, luan wood for tail fins, paper tubes. Also a rail to launch all the before-mentioned rockets, tracking devices. Also an old software program to calculate trajectory of rocket flights, notebooks, video, past high powered rocket magazines.
Sincerely,
Richard Mayberry

So, if you can help him out, I'm sure we could disperse anything you didn't want to keep between our membership. - DR
