Saturday Night Campout!
* Ken will be onsite for both days!
ADDITIONAL, RE Night launch:
I have set the NOTAM to close at 5:00 PM on Saturday, so that we can all get a break for dinner and set up for the night launch. The night NOTAM opens at 8 PM and goes till 9:30.
Remember to follow the guidelines set forth in the night launch pdf, which you can download from the contest rules link in the sidebar.
Basic guidelines, all flights are to be I impulse or below, the rocket must be illuminated at all times while in flight and we strongly suggest a back-up lighting system.
There will be a dual check-in system for RSO. All rockets must be preflighted during the day Saturday, and you will receive a special flight card. On going to the pad, you will need to bring that flight card with the first approval to the RSO table to be checked in before you go to the pads. Your flight will be approved for a rocket & engine combo that will be checked for the 1,500' wavier complience.
I will have a table set up for the night flights during Saturdays flight day and we can answer any last minute questions. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have a big concern and I'll try and get you an answer by the end of the day Friday.
Thanks, Doc R.
