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

 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.

November Launch

DateSaturday, November 13, 2010 at 9:21PM

Update Sunday night... great flying weekend everyone! Thanks to Kip for getting the last of the crops out for us and thanks to everyone who pitched in and helped make it a great weekend.

 

Looking towards our launch window on the 20th & 21st, we need to pray for some rain. I'll explain. Kip is trying to get the remaining soy beans out of the fields. It's been so dry for so long that he can only harvest for a short time before the equipment gets so hot it sets fire to the machinery. (This has already happened at least once.)

So what we could really use is some nice rain. Just enough to wet down the crops but not so much that it gets so wet he can't work.

If Kip can get all the crops out, then we need to think about the danger of fire in the field should anything go wrong. The idea has been floated to get the vol. Fire Dept. to come out and hang with us for a day just to make sure. This would need an additional donation from all of the fliers and probably mean a single day launch.

Thursday night update, Ken Allen from Performance Hobbies will be at the launch this weekend. If you need something specific, you can contact him through this LINK.

Word is that he expects to be there both days.
