Our Acton Winter Follies launch in 2024 is Saturday, 20 January postponed until at least 03 February.
If the weather looks too bad for that day, we have the flexibility to postpone the launch to the Sunday of that weekend.
As always, Acton is a low- and mid-power field only; no high-power motors and no sparkies. Set-up will be scheduled for 9:45 AM. We'll likely use a smaller number of pads set up on sawhorses as the ground will be even harder to pound our usual stakes into. There won't be any launch fee but we may use launch cards if the conditions allow.
This launch will also be a good place for any ARC teams to do practice or qualifying flights. We'll have ARC only launches scheduled in Acton for 09 & 23 March and 06 April.
This is typically a short duration launch shutting down in the early afternoon so hot dogs will not be available. If we can find the space, there will be the usual debriefing at an area restaurant after we pack up the trailer; help out and you are welcome to attend.
