Sunny weather awaits us as SoAR sponsors a launch at the Strange Duck Brewery in Commerce, GA this Saturday, May 15, 2021. Setup will start at 9:30 AM and the launch will start as soon as the range is ready and end at 2 PM. Following the launch, SoAR will have a FREE hamburger/hotdog cookout (Jorge is the chef).
Prior to the launch, we will be doing a build-it/fly-it with the staff of the Brewery and their families starting at 9 AM. Anyone who would like to help is welcome to come out at that time (see the last paragraph).
While the launch is being held at a brewery: No drinking of alcoholic beverages will be allowed in the launch area until the launch is over.
The field is similar to, but smaller than the Mill Springs Academy field. It is 1000 feet long, but only 300 feet wide. If the winds are SE/NW you can fly pretty much anything that is Class 1. SW/NE winds will limit motors to A-D with small chutes or streamers.
Address: 26 Old Allen Rd, Commerce, GA 30530
The goal of this launch is to attract attention to rocketry in the Athens-Commerce area and potentially grow a new NAR section in that area.
SoAR needs help pulling this off (launch setup, take down, LCO, RSO, cooking, build-it/fly-it). Look below in the footer of this page and click on Range Duty Sign-up and volunteer.
