As discussed at our last membership meeting, our next club launch is Saturday May 11th, at Buder Park - weather permitting. We know of 2 scout groups who will be participating and we'll need help from the membership to assist the scouts in launching their rockets. Up to 50 scouts may attend, so please consider coming out to help this Saturday. Park launches are great fun and it is an opportunity to serve the community by introducing young people to rocketry.

The setup usually starts at 12:30 Saturday and will run until 5:00 PM or so. Small H motors can be flown at Buder if the conditions are right and the rocket is less than 3.3 lbs. The field is not very large with a river to the south and I-44 to the north so any H motor flights would need to be in “low and slow” rockets (such as the Loc Mini-Mag).  Look for more announcements this week confirming the launch as we get closer and weather forecast is clearer and please check the web site before heading out to Buder Park. Here is a link to the event.

Thanks!
