Hi all,
We are hosting a high power rocket launch this weekend in Addieville, IL. It's about 45 minutes from downtown St. Louis by way of I64.
The weather looks to be great. 77 degrees for the high, sunny, and 7mph winds forecasted at most.
Our waiver will be open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. The range may or may not remain open until 5:00 pm, depending on how many people attend and how many rockets we want to fly.
Our waiver altitude is 17,500 feet AGL.
The club equipment trailer should arrive at the field around 9:00 am for us to begin setup. We would greatly appreciate as much help as possible with setup and cleanup, so please plan to arrive early if you can.
We plan to have a porta potty on site, as we did last year.
The landowners do not plan to provide food concessions as they did last year. Plan for your own nourishment accordingly. If you dont want to pack a lunch, you can check Google Maps for food options there appears to be one restaurant (The Eagles Nest) in Addieville, about a mile from the field, or you can drive about seven miles to either Nashville or Okawville for other options.
Launch fees will be $10 per flyer for the full day, or $5 if you are flying low-power rockets only.
We plan to have various sizes of launch pads set up, from the 1/8″ model rocket rods up to the monster pad with a 1515 rail. If you have any special needs, please reply to this email and we will see if we can accommodate you.
As always, please be courteous to our hosts and respectful of their property. Once we get on site, we will clarify where it is okay to drive and park.
