launching April 15th & 16th

Hey ROCC'ers, we're launching this weekend!
I know it doesn't look like it right now, it quite frankly looks dangerous while I'm posting this, but here's the deal.
Since the rain today isn't supposed to be as bad as last month we are going to launch Saturday, but with a LATE START TIME OF NOON.
We'll set the out time at 7 pm so it's still a long flight day, but starting at noon should give the runway time to drain.
We'll also launch Sunday but will start at 10 am.
Since the barley is between a foot and waist high small rockets are going to be very difficult to recover. Please try to run your larger rockets, or put a beeper or some other locating device on it to help in location.
We are probably not going to be able to fly next month due to the barley crop but are hoping to fly once it's out, like in July, depending on timing.
