NAR #528

If the crops are harvested we will being having a launch out in Waterman, IL. on October 25th. If we fly it will be a hi-power launch from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm.

The September 20th launch has been cancelled due to rain our next scheduled launch will be on October 11th.

We have decided to postpone tomorrows launch, due to the forecast calling for around a 50% of rain and with the sod being harvested the field could be a giant mudhole. We will try to fly next Saturday 9/20.

I wanted to take a moment to clarify something, recently we have been getting contacted by individuals wanting to do certification flights at the sod field we use in Newark Il. I want to be clear that field does not have a waiver for High Power launches due to it location near route 47 and also the nearby farm houses. We do have a High Power field we use in the fall, winter, and early spring out in Waterman Il. Anyone interested in doing High Power launches will have to wait until mid to late October after the crops have been harvested on the farm we use.
