Due to a later and later haying (more like strawing) schedule imposed on the farmer who tends to the Woodsom Park fields in Amesbury, we won't be able to launch there this month. Jim Salem has worked with the Acton Park/Rec department and we've secured the soccer/ball fields at NARA Park in Acton for our 12 August launch. Like our usual location in Acton, this is a low- and mid-power field, at best. Not only do we have trees on three sides of the field but the fourth side leads to a water hazard, a very large pond/swimming area for the park. All of that is outside the area we're renting so, please, pair your rockets and motors carefully to keep your recoveries in the Upper Fields. We'll try to optimize the launch set up for the weather conditions but be aware those can change as the day goes on.
Jim Flis will have his Fliskits items with him. If you need something specific from him such as motor mount kits, spare body tubes, nose cones, etc., please contact him ahead of time to be sure he brings it.
We're not sure what coverage we'll have from AMWProX. Jason will be at the RIMRA launch and, if Gloria can travel, there may not be room to maneuver even their smaller truck and trailer. If they decide they can attend, I'll update the post. Again, if you're looking for something specific, call ahead and see what arrangements can be made.
Sign up for volunteer opportunities, LCO, Safety Check or lunch service. Please help out our guests where you can; as the rest of the park will be active with their usual summertime activities, we'll likely get a lot of walk-ups checking us out.
Let us know what you may be flying. Keep an eye on the weather and the website for any updates. Don't forget about our GO/NO GO hotline you can call on the morning of the launch, 857-24-CMASS (857-242-6277).
