August Launch and URRG Picnic


August 26 - August 27


Hi Team. We are having our club picnic at the August launch. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun. Bring a dish to pass and some rockets for a great time!

Setup starts at 9:30, range is open from 10 am to ~5 pm

Crops are fully grown by now, if you’re going high, plan on using a tracker. Last year they cut the corn the morning of the August launch!

The August Picnic launch we invite newbie's looking to come see what we are about and come fly for free. If you join on the field that weekend you will be good through 2018.

Looking forward to the Picnic Launch. There's always a great turnout! The vendors for the August launch are Ken Allen from "Performance Hobbies", Teddy Chernock "One Bad Hawk" and Mike Crupe "MAC Performance Rocketry". A big thanks to them for supporting us every month! See you on the field. :smile:

Can't wait! I hope the corn comes down like last year, and we can avoid further crop dustings... I'll bring space cookies like last year:

If the sausage and peppers are as good as the recipe for the chicken croquettes with creole sauce you posted, we're in for a real treat!
With weather like this I hope you plan to fly at least a couple :wink: We'll be at the field Friday morning to start setting up. I've got three prepped and excited to fly.

 

[Mdutch]

Wow This weekend is going to be picture perfect for flying rockets, I have three rockets prepped and ready to fly. I'll see everyone there.

I am taking the small fry on a vacation before Carly goes back to school next week. Heading to the cape. We travel on Saturday so maybe well just have to slide off the 90 for some sausage onions and peppers. Sounds like I am going to miss a great weekend. The summer has been all work so I need to squeeze this in. I cant wait to camp at the September launch. Sounds like a great weekend.
