Join us this today at Mill Springs Academy for this month’s SoAR Launch, from 11 AM to 4 PM. The National Weather service says it’ll be sunny, with a slight chance of showers after 3 PM. Highs around 90. Winds will be calm to westerly at 5 MPH.
We will, of course, be continuing with social distancing and wearing masks is strongly encouraged (please wear a mask when at prep table and at safety check/launch control, and when interacting with others). Remember, you’re protecting them, and they’re protecting you. We’ll also be continuing with the Electronic Flight Card system (sign up at soarrocketry.org/cards ). Though you’ll probably also be able to use physical flight cards at the prep table. We will have individual launch pads at least six feet apart.
This is our low-power field (we recommend altitudes of no more than 1000 feet to assure you getting your rocket back), but if you know what you are doing it is possible to fly mid power successfully.

Online Registration for Turkey & GRITS shuts down in an hour or so, as soon after 9 PM as possible, assuming I’m back from some last minute errands. So you might have a little longer.
Of course, the only advantage of doing online registration is that you can use a credit or debit card.
At the field this weekend, you will need cash.

The next RocketTalk meeting is Thursday night on Zoom at 7 PM. Check the RocketTalk page for the connection info.
The RocketTalk meeting is where we bring projects to show and techniques to share, and just talk rockets. We cover everything: build questions and techniques; motors; recovery; new and old models; high and low power; model rocket history; real rockets: etc., etc. etc. If it has anything to do with rockets, we love it!!!! You are guaranteed a few minutes of floor time… so bring your latest projects, questions, ideas, finds, complaints, recipes, clean jokes, ocarina improvisations, etc.
We’ll also discuss Turkey & GRITS 2020, our yearly big high power launch near Tifton, GA the weekend after Thanksgiving.
