Come fly with us in SC where we have the weather to fly 12 months a year. The first 12 fliers that are new to our field and notify me ahead of time get a free gift.

These three have been ready to go since November. The Ohio weather has just not been properly cooperating.
If the Stars will just stay in alignment I'll see you on the 11th.

Welcome to SC! Again.
The weather is better.driving from Ohio all the way down to South Carolina
after living in central Ohio for 18 years I know all about that bad weather.
Are you able to fly in February?
unless it's above 55°. I just can't breathe below that as that causes my bronchial tubes to close up at temps below that

We can fly in February if the temps are not too low - and we need to help university teams get some test flights in.
It's a great opportunity to see if students know how to properly dress for the weather in a wide-open cornfield.
But usually we stop just after Thanksgiving, and then start up again in March.

(I'll be at a mill site that week for work, not 2 hours from Dalzell. Mums the word. Tuck the rockets between the tool boxes.)
You an any college team are welcome at our launch site. We need to build the base.

If you haven't flown at the Dalzell field, it is a nice place to fly for sure. Good field, good people, good time. Hope you get to make it. I won't get to meet you, as I'll be in S. Florida at the time, but definitely worth checking out!

This is why you always do a "systems check" before you go to a launch.
The T3 tracker did not turn on. Had to perform a little brain surgery. Broken wire on the battery.
New battery in place. Now for a little scalpel work and soldering on the old battery . . .

It is a good idea. The trees are unforgiving, especially if you do not know which tree.
