NAR #528

We have decided to postpone tomorrows launch, due to the forecast calling for around a 50% of rain and with the sod being harvested the field could be a giant mudhole. We will try to fly next Saturday 9/20.

I wanted to take a moment to clarify something, recently we have been getting contacted by individuals wanting to do certification flights at the sod field we use in Newark Il. I want to be clear that field does not have a waiver for High Power launches due to it location near route 47 and also the nearby farm houses. We do have a High Power field we use in the fall, winter, and early spring out in Waterman Il. Anyone interested in doing High Power launches will have to wait until mid to late October after the crops have been harvested on the farm we use.

Due to the chance of rain and thunderstorms tomorrows launch has been cancelled.

I apologize I thought I had posted this, but I apparently did not, I only previewed it.
Saturday’s (7/12) launch has been re-scheduled due to the large amount of rain the field received this week, and we are not willing to risk damaging the field, when we can fly next weekend 7/19.

Our June launch will be at the Central Sod field located in Newark, IL. This will be a low/mid power launch.
