• Rocketober Postponed 1 Week

    Greetings Fliers, it is with heavy hearts that the BoD has decided to postpone Rocketober 1 week. There are two main reasons for this move:

    1. The flying weather is looking pretty awful: sustained heavy winds in the teens, gusting well over the TRA safety code’s shutdown speed of 20mph; plus heavy and low clouds in several of the times that had lower winds. (And one of the only promising windows of weather would be during a shutdown for the Air National Guard anyway.)
    2. We became aware of some new development within the cylinder Monday that could potentially limit our ceiling to ~16k.

    I know this is not the solution some folks will want to hear, but just as there are fliers who would rather keep the schedule and sit at camp and socialize in the bad weather with chances to fly in the breaks, there are fliers who would rather postpone the launch a week where the forecast looks better than it does for this week, not only now, but also than it looked a week ago for this weekend. (We’ve been monitoring it for a week and a half or so now.)

  • Garden Home launch is on

    Garden Home model rocket launch, 10 am – 1 pm, Saturday October 11th.

    Looks like it will rain on and off. Fingers crossed.

    Setup at 9:30 am. As always, help appreciated for setup and tear-down

    As usual, we limit flights to 500′ or under; this means A – B motors for modest sized kits. Please consult the launch crew before you fly staged or clustered flights.

  • Special note about memberships and launch fees at Brothers launches

    Hey folks, just wanted to make sure this note from the last couple of club meetings was mentioned a bit more broadly… there will not be a cash box to pay for memberships or launch fees with cash at AP Showers next weekend. You’ll need to pay online with the club’s PayPal page. (Note: you do not need to have a PayPal account to pay with a credit or debit card… but they will probably nag you to create one.) If you are planning to join as a member, it is encouraged to do so online before heading out to the sage.

    The 2025 Launch Schedule has been updated on the Public Launches page. Additionally the a downloadable ics file you can import to your calendar software of choice has been linked from the Calendar top level page.

  • The 2025 Membership Campaign is Underway!

    We have opened membership registration for the 2025 calendar year (January 1 – December 31)! The rates for both new and renewal memberships are the same as previous years. Go to our Membership page and look for the button link to launch online registration; if you prefer to pay by check, you may also print a membership form (there is a separate button link for that) and mail both the completed form and the check to us.
