 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.

ROCC launch news...

DateSunday, January 14, 2024 at 3:51PM
Looking ahead to next weekend and weather. It is slated to turn bitterly cold on Friday evening, dropping to 15 degrees overnight and then a high of just above freezing on Saturday. Sunday is supposed to be a heat wave, getting up to 36. Winds are 10 mph on Saturday.
All this adds up to a weekend that folks around here are not used to standing out in a field and not getting hypothermia.
We've checked with Ken and he's available the next weekend, the 27th and 28th.
Therefore we are pushing back the next launch date to that next weekend, January 27/28 with hopes of a bit better weather.
