We start a new year of launches this Saturday at Mill Springs Academy from 11AM – 4PM. The weather should be sunny, but cold and a bit windy. The temperature will hover in the 40’s throughout the launch period, and winds will be from the east at 10 mph gusting to 15.

Mill Springs is our low-power field, suitable for rockets that fly no more than 1000 feet or so. With the winds this time, you may want to keep them even lower, and either reef your parachutes, or switch to streamers. We recommend a maximum of “D” impulse, but experienced rocketeers can and have flown big rockets with up to “G” power on this field. You never know!

As always, the public is welcome to watch or join in.
