Come join us for our second official launch at the new field!
Highlights:
Jim Harris from Gorilla Motors will be demoing a 75mm L (red or green, hasnt decided yet) motor in Randys newest rocket, Merlin, a 10 foot tall metallic purple monster. He also has some other tricks up his sleeve for us to see. Im sure someone will Guinea Pig his trusty propellant in their rockets!
Randys gonna try for a mile again in his NASA decorated extended LOC Magnum on a L1100 Red Rhino.
Team Gold Rush, aka the Sapp Boys, will be busting out their Estes Blast off pack in each of their new creations till the cows come home.
Robert Synoski and Johnnie Mack did some damage to their credit cards buying motors so who knows what is gonna happen there!
THOR made a visit last time and we were glad to have them come. Hopefully they come again and bring much to fly!

Welcome!
*
Have an Estes Rocket? Have a mid power Aerotech rocket? Or how bout a big burly high power rocket with an M motor?* We have two words for you:
*
BRING IT! FLY IT! (OK that was four words but you get the idea). Come enjoy the fun!* Bring a friend, get them started, once they see it they will be hooked!
*
Not certified to fly high power yet? Have no idea what we're talking about?
*
COME ANYWAY! Bring a camera, video camera, take pictures, have fun! Don't stay home and play with your Nintendo Wii!
*
O.K. On to the formal announcement. Ahem {clearing my throat to sound serious}
*
"Our second launch at our new field will be Saturday, May 17th at Varn Ranch in Plant City, Florida."
*
We will have Estes pads up to high power with rails.
*
Our waiver is 12,000' AGL from 9 AM to 6 PM. Yes, you heard it right, over two miles.. Big dogs: Show us whatcha got!
*
COST: $10 for*high power flyers,*$5 for low*power (G motors and under).**This is NOT a moneymaking endeavor, the launch dues go to the landowner for use of the field.* Spectators are free but there will be a donation jar at the registration table.* We appreciate the kind of money that jingles but we need the kind that folds.
*
RULES: We got 'em, and the quickest way to lose this site and ruin it for everybody*is to break one of the first three. It's a mixture of common courtesy and common sense, so, ready? Here we go:
*
COWS: Don't touch 'em,*pet 'em, chase 'em, feed 'em, scare 'em, cook 'em.* In other words THEY DON'T EXIST.
*
TRASH: We have a strict policy of*LEAVE THE LAND THE WAY YOU FOUND IT, no excuses, no exceptions. Not even a cigarette butt.* Bring your own garbage bag please. If you see trash, even if it is not yours, please take the initiative and pick it up?
*
GATE: Close it when you drive through, otherwise one of the cows that don't exist will escape. The landowner is quite serious about this.
*
CARS: The speed limit is "SLOW", watch your dust, no driving past the flight line, EVER, unless given special permission by the RSO.* We will have an ATV for rocket recovery.* Remember, we are walking and driving all over the non existent cow's food (we call it grass). Let's take care of it and be respectful.
*
FOOD: No onsite food vendor yet, so pack a lunch, bring plenty of water and sunblock, the only red we wanna see is rocket exhaust.
*
FACILITIES:* No porta pottie yet, we're working on it, but the landowner says we can use the outhouses on the property, (both HIS and HERS).
*
VENDORS:* There will be a high power motor vendor here for starters. Thank you Jim!* www.gorillarocketmotors.com
