It's short notice, but the club was recently informed that the crops are out early at the Elsberry farm, and with the recent dry weather we have good conditions to use the field. Since we have not been able to have a high-power launch in quite some time, we decided to take the opportunity.

Launch fees for this launch are $10 for high power and $5 for model rocket fliers. All fliers, for both high power and model rockets, must be either an NAR or Tripoli member for insurance purposes - there are no exceptions to this rule. TRA / NAR membership cards will be verified at the RSO table during flier registration. Non-TRA/NAR members always welcome as spectators but must remain in the spectator areas; non-TRA/NAR spectators will also be required to sign a liability release.

Only level 1 NAR or Tripoli members will be allowed in the launch preparation area. All other fliers must be escorted in the launch prep area or to the actual launch pads by a SLRA member.

The FAA waiver at Elsberry allows us to fly to 6000 feet MSL (5500 feet AGL) with windows available on demand during the day of the launch to 15000 MSL (14500 feet AGL).

Setup will start at approximately 9:00 am, and launches will start at approximately 10:00 am. There is not a fixed end time. Please consider arriving early to help with setup or staying to help clean up afterwards, if you can.

Directions to launch site: from I-70, take MO state highway 79 approximately 30 miles north to the intersection of state highway JJ, just before reaching the town of Elsberry. Turn right, proceed across the railroad tracks and continue straight onto the dirt road into the field. You will cross a small bridge and pass a lagoon on your left; from this point you should be able to see the launch site. If you have difficulty finding us, please call Dan Crank at (314) 630-7619.
