Spoke with a fellow at the parks department, and sent a very detailed email to the Park Superintendent about using some undeveloped park land (floodplain) for monthly club low/mid power launches. There is some ambiguity in the local ordinances around model rockets, so it comes down to his interpretation of the rules. So far everyone, even those I haven't agreed with, have been quite reasonable, so I am cautiously optimistic we can at least get a constructive dialog going.
This would be timely as our low/mid power field headed toward urban sprawl extinction in the near term. Being in a floodplain it would be hard to see this field going a similar route, and since we are in a historic drought flooding isn't really a concern either in the near term.
I'm asking for good thoughts from my rocket brothers on this effort.
No joy. Oh well, you gotta put shots on goal if you ever expect to have one go in.
On the bright side I prepped rockets for tomorrows launch. I'm flying my first Warp9 and my first composite cluster (not the same flight, that would be nuts). Should be a good time, or at least it will be dramatic. If you're going to fail, make it memorable.
