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.

THUNDERFLAME

DateThursday, October 22, 2009 at 5:55PM

OK Folks... I know most of us are suffering withdrawal. We're starting to look sideways at that big wheel just sitting there in the driveway thinking "Gosh, I'll bet I could strap a couple of J's to the side of that thing and get it going up the hill really good!"

Well Brad got a note from Tom Henderson yesterday that peaked my interest even though I've got a previous engagement on that day. Tom's getting together a ThunderFlame class in Orangeburg, SC on December 12th. It's an all day affair, and you can work out the details with Tom if you're interested. He can be reached at trh@charter.net. Tom's website is
at http://www.thunderflame.com/

It's usually about $200.00 I believe for a kit and the instructions, and after you pass the course Tom will sell you the kits directly. You can't buy the kit if you haven't passed the class. (It is, after all, some rather volitile metals and solvents that you need some comfort level with to be safe.)

I watched Ralph mix a half a kit in his shop area about a month ago and it was great!
