 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.

ROCC Aug 2007 Weekend - No official events plan, however.....

Everyone:

I hate to say I dropped the ball about getting up with Doc regarding a build session at his shop and I apologize. (Doc, could we do this say in September if we don't fly?) However, Brian Helms has found us a potential alternate site, however, it is past Albemarle and on the other side of Badin Lake on Hwy 109. I have ask him if we can go look at it this weekend.

My thoughts were maybe we could meet at Williams farm or somewhere, whom ever is interested, then head out there to view the site. The key is we have landowner permission already! I let you know when I her back from Brian, may be could plan on a mid-morning time to avoid some of the heat?

We could also make it a launch equipment clean up day. Since our stuff will be down over the summer I figure we can give it a good cleaning/painting and lubricating to be ready for the fall.

Ken, from Al's Hobbies was shipping the motor orders yesterday, so I have a feeling they may get here soon, so if you ordered something you will have Magazine buisness anyway.

Note: Freedom launch is fast approaching in Orangeburg, they have the official annoucement up on www.tripolisc.org. I know a lot of you are going so keep busy working on those projects.

Anyway, if interested in meeting Saturday please email Ralph at roccprez@bellsouth.net ASAP.

Sincerely,
Ralph Roberts
ROCC Prez and Prefect.
