ROCI's 11 June launch at the AMA in Muncie

[Madison Alum]

ROCI will be conducting it's next launch at the AMA in Muncie on June 11 from 10AM until 5PM. Lee Berry of Merlyn Missiles will be present as vendor. Should have hot dogs available for purchase around noon. Next launch will be in August, so fly now while you can easily find your rockets out in the fields.

What is the altitude & motor limits?

I would love to finally come here - K to 3000' ok?

 

[barstoolmike]

3000' may be a little tough to stay under.

 

[Nick@JET]

Thanks barstoolmike

Last weekend Mike for MAC flew this same rocket on a K360 to 2811'
I can do a J449 (7 to 1) at 2900' or J380 (6 to 1) to 2300'
but J or K is ok on motor limit? as long as under 3000'?

I've been looking forward to coming to Muncie and ROCI!

What is the altitude & motor limits?

Mike

we are limited to K motors and below 7000ft MSL (about 6000AGL)

 

[barstoolmike]

6000' sounds a lot better, it's been a few years since I've flown w/ ROCI at that field. So if the weather is good I should be there, thanks.

Mike

 

[Nick@JET]

Agreed, even better, I'll bring more rockets!

Can you post a link to the field location?

1515 rail is available? If so I'll bring my Magnum and fly on a K535. If not no big deal

 

[Madison Alum]

Pretty re we have one 1515 rail. Don't recall seeing it set up, but have seen it in our trailer.

Thanks ROCI - great facility and a lot of cool flights, will post some of the few pics once I can edit.
Hope to see you in Sept

Hi Nick,
Glad you could make it out to our launch. Sorry the wind was a bit more than promised, but no way to control that. Our launches for the rest of the year are August 14 and October 15/16. By then the beans will have grown in and recovering the rockets will be a bit more challenging. No September launch this year due to scheduling conflicts with AMA, who allow us the use of their field.
