Wow, glad they found a site.
Probably can't make this one though.

Did we get a consensus on the max altitude? 2000 ft. 2500? Just picking out which birds to bring. And to confirm, Mid-Power includes all non-L1,L2,L3 motors? i.e. Aerotech G reloads (not G138) are OK?

I've sent a message to officers. I've not been to this new field but Gs and below would be correct. I'll get back to you about alt when I get a reply.

Awesome thanks! I've got a few that would nudge 22-2300 ft. and didn't want to bring those if we're at 2000.

It's really hard to tell from the VFR as well... https://vfrmap.com/?type=vfrc&lat=38.668&lon=-121.401&zoom=10

Club announced 1,500 ft ceiling for this first launch.

Thanks! I saw that too. I think I've found a suitably "draggy" bird for some G-flights.
