Upcoming Launch Schedule

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.

Launch update for 1-20  1-21

DateThursday, January 18, 2007 at 6:35AM

Everyone:

The January Launch is a go at Williams Farm this coming weekend Jan 20th and 21st.

Also, the 2007 membership drive is continuing, please renew or join in.

We will start the launch at 11:00AM to extend the day.
So we will be running the launch from 11:00AM to 5:00PM each day.
Setup is at 10:30AM.

Vendors:
Saturday : Ken Allen from Performance Hobbies ( CALL HIM ASAP FOR ORDERS),
& Sunday Brent Johnson from Hobbytown, USA, (New shipment of Estes and Aerotech motors in stock)
Tim Derbin from Giant Leap

We will have the Porta-A-Jon at this launch, please come out to support the Porta-Jon.

We need as many people as we can to make our flyer fee goal. Last month we had a lot of flyers and met our goal. We need everyone and their donations so please contribute if you fly. At least try to make it out for a little bit. Remember our recommended donation is $8.00-$10.00 per flyer per day, families with lots of young flyers maybe a $10.00 donation would be good. Again, these are recommendations not harden rule. The requested weekend land fee from the land owner is $250, so we need everyone to drop a little something in the jar.

Anyone needing to certify, please contact me ahead of time. Todd Haring or Terry Baucom can arrange to have the Level 2 NAR test delivered to the field and we can have others administer the test.

New Launch Duty Roster will be available for anyone wanting to pull duty this launch.
Plus, we will have one for the Feb and March launches for folks to sign up.

One Last call for nominations for club officers, we will have a 5-10 minute meeting at 12:00 Noon Saturday to call for nominations and if we have enough folks we will have an elections for 2007 ROCC and TRA Offices. Our by-laws state we must make it official, so we will do that Saturday. Anyone wanting to run for club officers please step up.

Note: Bob B will be taking over NAR advisor for Steve Bumgarner.
Everything else is up for grabs.

Would there be any interest in having another NAR contest as early as the Feb launch, we need to finalize what contest we want.
(Bob B, Doc R., Brad S., if you could make a recommended list, that maybe a good start.)

We also need to discuss schedules and hopefully get started on a 2007 summer flying site.

Weather looks to be cold as of Wednesday afternoon!!
Saturday 49 sw winds at 9, calm at dusk
Sunday 47 light nw winds at 5, calm at dusk, 30 % chance of a mix late
Bring you big coat this time.

If you have any questions please email me at ROCCPREZ@bellsouth.net or call me at 704-568-1070.

Thanks,
Ralph Roberts
ROCC Prez
