Thursday, February 25, 2016 at 9:34AM The April launch will include the camp out. We are checking with Kip, but I believe camping will be allowed both on Friday, April 15th and Saturday, April 16th. We also will be doing a night launch on Saturday, April 16th.
More details to come.
Wednesday, February 17, 2016 at 10:21AM WHEN ENTERING THE FARM, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO DRIVE ON THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND PLEASE DRIVE SLOW!
When: Saturday, February 20 & Sunday, February, 21, 2016
Where: The Williams Farm. See Web Site for directions if you are new.
Set Up: Volunteers show up at 9:30 am to help setup.
Launch Start: As soon as set-up is complete.
Launch Ends: Approximately 5ish PM so we have some light to close up by.
Please keep checking back for any possible last minute changes.
Ken Allen, with Performance Hobbies is scheduled to be at the farm SUNDAY ONLY.
Jason will have the grill open both days.
EXPECT MUDDY CONDITIONS IN THE FIELDS! Remember that this is a working farm and it is the winter season. Dress accordingly, sturdy, warm shoes and suggest you dress in layers so you can take layers off and on as the temperature changes. When the sun is shining at the farm it is like a solar collector out there with the open field so it can be 10 degrees warmer when the sun is clear than in the city.
Anyone who runs a Grill or Fire-Pit is responsible to have a separate fire extinguishing system of their own on hand at your site.
Any pictures you take from any recent or upcoming launch that you would like to get posted on the web site for our embarrassment and your entertainment, just contact Doc Russell at: rocketrycarolina@gmail.com. (Remember to make the appropriate substitutions... we don't like spam bots!) Or, as some have done, pass it on a disk or flash drive. We can always get it back to you. We are continuing with our Range Safety standards by making specific assignments:
RSO/ LCO = Range Safety Officer to pre-inspect rockets before flights combined with the Launch Control Officer to check range conditions and control the launch’s in a timely and efficient manner. Check both the WEB site and at the launch for info on volunteering. It’s great for anybody who isn’t flying that day but wants to take part anyway. It’s fun to push the little red button.
ROCC Club 2015 Memberships. Memberships run Jan to Jan with the drive starting in Oct for the new coming year. Onsite: See our Membership Officer Jason Pettler. For MAIL-IN: See the web site for downloadable membership forms and e-mail address.
