Indiana Rocketry February 19 and 20

[Grandpa$]

Somewhere under the snow drifts is our launch field.
So we moved our scheduled launch back a week. Again, one more time, really?

Keep an eye on the weather and our web site. https://www.indianarocketry.org/

Sooooo...looks like NDRT is coming to your place this weekend with an L2200. We are getting high winds in Three Oaks.

Edit: answered my own questions lol

Bummer, heading down their way in March, not this weekend!

Don't count me out of going there in March. Of course my launch schedule revolves around what happens with NDRT...and work.

Facebook post says this weekend's launch has been pushed to next weekend due to weather and access to the launch site.

Feb 26 @10am

NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

[DAllen]

It's ok though...I get it. I was looking forward to an excuse to drive there and fly in that magnificent field of yours. Maybe next time!

 

[heada]

NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I know what you mean. I just pulled batteries off the charger and was getting things sorted to go this weekend. Not sure if I'll be able to go next weekend but I'll try.

 

[Grandpa$]

Sigh.

Weithar. That's almost as bad as the spell of weather we had this month.

Trying (again) for the 26th and 27th. Hoping to get the February launch in before April 1st.

We just got a report from our launch lake, er field.
What's not under water is full of mud.
The last thing we want to do is damage the farmers field.
So, stop me if you've heard this before, we are postponing the February launch to March 12th and 13th.
Does anyone know of a stop raining spell?
Desperate people want to know.

Just cross our fingers for March!

Okay, hot off the presses.
Two launches in March:
12 and 13.
26 and 27.

Assuming the field is not covered in lava. Volcano. Why not.

There was an earthquake in the region that caused the Mississippi River to flow north.....don't joke

I know its early in the week, but any idea if the field conditions will allow for the launch to take place this weekend?

We have a hotel room booked and will need to cancel by noon Friday if we have to bail.

Thanks in advance!

 

[Grandpa$]

Justin, as of today it is still a go. But.....
Weather. We won't get a field advisory untill Friday.
Much as we want to see whatever you're going to fly (hint?) we need to respect the landowners property.
Does anyone know a stop raining spell?

 

[heada]

My weather app shows an inch of rain friday followed with sub freezing temps over the weekend. We really need that stop rain spell/dance.

I was planning on going but get scheduled to work

 

[rfjustin]

And we have pulled the plug...

See you all in April on the 9th....

 

[Grandpa$]

Weather has struck again
You want a Winter Weather Advisory? Sleet, winds, snow and artic temperatures?
Give us a call, we'll schedule a launch. Crappy weather GUARANTEED!

Sigh.

We do have a second March launch scheduled for March 26th and 27th.

Has a typhoon ever hit Indiana?
Stay tuned.
