We’re starting another new season in Amesbury!! Our 23 April launch is on the schedule. As the pandemic continues, please read the information we have published about the COVID-19 rules and restrictions, fill in, print out, sign and bring your tracing form with you to the launch. Without the form, you will not be able to launch and will be asked to leave the field. Face covers are requested for all approaching the Safety Check station.
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. Leave an empty car-width space between your car and the next. 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.
We will conduct high-power flights as the conditions permit. If you’re new to the club, please bring a good computer simulation of your mid- or high-power flight. In any case, please match your motor to the rocket to keep your landing on the field. If the wind blows toward the wires we will curtail HPR and limit low- and mid-power flights to 1000-ft altitudes.
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.
