Thursday, January 9, 2020 at 10:49AM In what is becoming a tradition (I think it's our 5th or 6th one) we rang in the new year with our own version of loud noises, waking the neighborhood and banishing evil spirits away... we just did it with some loud motors instead of the more traditional shotguns and muskets.

Thursday, January 2, 2020 at 9:48PM There should be a launch in Camden SC the 11th & 12th of January. Launch site details are available HERE on their direct site, and their FaceBook page is HERE.
Launch fees are $10/dy for SCR members and $15/dy for non-members.
It's a great field and they're great folks down there, it's about a 2 hour & 15 min. trip south on 77 from Charlotte. Kinda drive to Columbia and hang a left.

Tuesday, December 24, 2019 at 5:41PM I just wanted to wish everyone a happy and joyous holiday season no matter what your deity of choice!
Also, thanks for everyone that came out and had a nice launch weekend with us this past weekend.
As for upcoming launches, we're going to try for our January 1st launch, it's become kind of a tradition now after something like 6 years, so hopefully the weather will cooperate.
Bring that holiday cash and buy that gift you didn't get from Ken!

Friday, December 20, 2019 at 10:46PM Hello fellow ROCC'ers! The pre-ChrismaHanuKwanzSolstiFestivus launch weekend is upon us!
Saturday weather is looking extremely nice, with low winds (3-5 MPH) out of the NE to N (heading away from Mr. S), and temps are supposed to be in the mid 40's so dress in layers.
UPDATE: Ken will be with us on SUNDAY IF WE LAUNCH, NOT SATURDAY.
Set-up about 9:30, should be launching by 10:30, close up at 5 PM.
Now then, for Sunday... It's really a crapshoot as I write this at Noon Friday. There's a large high pressure zone to our south that depending on where it goes on Saturday will determine when & how much rain we get on Sunday and Monday. We'll need to make a call on Saturday depending on the updated forecasts.
If you want to fly this weekend, looks like Saturday is the day!
See ya out there... dr

Though we were delayed twice by Dzahui, (Mesoamerican god of rain) we finally got going on a beautiful Friday & Saturday with lovely weather. Have a look at the details... dr
Thursday, December 5, 2019 at 8:51PM We're looking forward to our next launch weekend, December 21 & 22. Ken should be with us and hopefully the weather will turn out hice for us.
Keep an eyey on the website as we get closer.
Also don't forget that the folks in Camden, SC will be flying on the 2nd weekend, December 7th & 8th. A link HERE to their site with additional launch information.
