Maine Missile Math & Science Club will be reviving it's annual Winter Solstice launch on 22 December 2018. All the usual rules apply except sparky motors will be allowed. Please remember, all sparky motors are considered high power and you need to be certified to fly them. All of the F- and G-impulse motors on this list that have (HP) as part of their listing require L1 certification. As always, bring your NAR, CAR or TRA card showing your cert level if you're planning on flying any high power motor.

AMW/ProX will not be in attendance but you can order from the website (they're receiving an order on Tuesday). Place and pay for your order and you can pick it up in Beverly. If you can't pick it up, your paid-for motor will be available at the field.

Keep an eye on the weather conditions and don't fly too much rocket for the field. If your rocket may not land on the field, you may not make it past safety check.

Right now the field is accessible. If Berwick gets any snow between now and the launch, it's possible we won't be able to get through the gate. Keep an eye on this thread, the club website and Facebook page for any last minute updates.
 
There's more discussion about this on the FB page. A six-foot long, 1/4" rod will be available, too. If the parts are in place and the numbers demand it, there may be LPR and MPR 1/8" and 3/16" rods to fly from. Bottom line is, if it doesn't need to be set up, it won't get set up.
 
I just placed an order with AMW/ProX for pickup at the launch. Hoping to see you guys this weekend!
 
Snow didn't do us in, it was the frozen ground and the prospect of lots of rain that would thaw the surface to mud. We can't risk damaging the road or any of the field areas.

If the snow stays away, we may try to schedule something for early January.
