We’re starting another new season in Amesbury!! Our 22 April launch is on the schedule.
We will continue to park at the launch site. This means you can drive out the path to the field and park your car perpendicular to the roadway just far enough onto the grass to clear the path. We can use both sides of the road. Only the trailer, the vehicle towing it and the food delivery car are allowed to drive onto the field. When you set up your preparation area, leave at least six feet to any other set up; there’s lots of space between the parked cars and the flight line – there’s no need to crowd up toward the flight line.
Set up will be at 9:30 with flying starting as soon after 10 AM as we can. We will be stopping at 4 PM at the latest, breaking down the set up and packing into the trailer. Many hands make light work so please pitch in. Use the Launch Duty sign-up sheet to secure your position at Safety Check, Launch Control or Food Service.
There will not be a motor vendor on the field.
The wind forecast shows it blowing steadily from the east toward the power lines so we will not have high-power launches. Low- and mid-power flights will be limited to 1000-feet altitude. If you need to fly HPR, check out RIMRA as their postponed launch is also scheduled for the 22nd.
Please remember to drive slowly, 5 mph, on the path out to the field. Watch for dogs that may be off leash and others using this city park. We still ask for your cooperation in sharing our hobby and this space with others.
