Here are some other launch opportunities in our area:

 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.

July ROCC Launch is a GO! (This coming Weekend, July 9th,10th

I just spoke with Kip and Terry Baucom has visually inspected the field.
The beans are about 3-4" tall in the North field; Kip's thoughts are that we best get the launch in before the beans shoot up any higher. So, given that, the launch is on for this weekend, July 9th and 10th. 12:00-7:00 each day.

There are no vendors scheduled.

The Porta-Potty will be there. It worked out well for the last launch.

I will get the T-Shirts there, this time, I promise.

Does anyone need to certify or take the test? Please let me know so I can plan.

Now, onto my soapbox, our attendance was really low last launch. I realized it was the forth weekend and that this will be the second, however, we knew since January our June and July launches are depended on the harvest and the re-planting of the crops. So everyone knew.
Please, if you can, try to attend and remember to make your donation, if we exceed our goal for flyer-fees for the Williams the rest of the money will go back to paying for the porta-potty.

Lets see you out there this weekend.
Sincerely,
Ralph Roberts
