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.

Reminder... launch weekend 19th & 20th

Weather Update: Saturday is going to be a bit windier than previously predicted, with winds starting out at 11:00 at about 13 - 15 mph headed toward the lower left hand field.

Sunday is predicted to have a 20 - 30% chance of rain, but lower winds.

Normal times in effect with set-up at 10:00 and flights to begin at 11:00. It looks like we could fly till about 6:30 or 7:00 with enough light to close down the field overnight.

Doug's USLI team will be needing some support on Saturday, just getting some supervision building motors and flying some test flights, just the general overall support our club seems to be willing to give to any new flyer. Just be aware that Doug won't be there to help them on Saturday so we should step in and just keep an eye on 'em, give them any help we can. 

Ken Allen from Performance Hobbies will be with us again, thanks Ken. If you need something specific you can email him at: kensrockets@rocketmail.com .

Ralph has confirmed that "Che' Roberts" will be open serving the best in tube steaks with appropriate condiments on the side.

Roy sent a reminder that the Rocket Raffel will continue, with several great rockets left in the pool, and he wants to work on having more available for the younger fliers next month. Just $1/ticket or 8 for $5.

Remember to bring your sun screen as it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day.

See ya out there....
