March launch a go for the 19th & 20th
Wednesday, March 16, 2005 at 4:20AM Ralph asked that the following items be sent out to our mailing list: 1. Ralph, while on his way to Tennessee, gave Steve Bumgarner a call, and he passed it on to me, to suggest that we cancel and reschedule the "Launch Camp-Out" this weekend because of the projected rainy week ahead. It looks like the stormy weather will make the ground pretty mushy and no fun to camp upon. We'll try the camp-out again at a later date, maybe the "Return to the Farm Launch" after crop season is over. Or maybe sooner, who knows. 2. This weekends launch will go on as scheduled, but with one suggestion. Since Ken Allen of Performance Hobbies has indicated that he will be our vendor this month - on Sunday only - that perhaps we should start launching around 10:00 AM on Sunday morning to give Ken and all the fliers more time to conduct buisness together. Watch the weather for Sat, but remember, no mater what its doing in Charlotte, it can still be good flying weather out at the farm. As it stands for now, setup on Saturday will be at 11:00 am with flights to start as soon as setup is complete. We will probably put the launch equipment up for the night, or cover it with tarps for Sundays launch. We can't say exactly when Ken Allen will pull in. Hopefully we will have a projected time of arrival by Sat night. OK, hope to see you all out there. Take care and remember to keep your exhaust nozzles clear.
