Announcements

  Feb 1 Launch Status is a GO!!

Team-1,

It looks like we will have good weather this Saturday!  Just below freezing temp, wind about 8 MPH gusting to 13 from the ENE with roughly 50% open sky for most of the day.  Higher flights should plan for earlier as the  cloud cover increases as the afternooon wears on.

Plan to park north of the field access point where we willl have the trailer setup, entering Pitcairnia from Sloan Rd.  Scheduled time for setup is 9am at the field.  The faster we get setup, the better today, so please plan to come early and help.

Those interesed in breakfast at Cracker Barrel can meet me there at about 7:15am.  Trailer and gear pickup from Alkay is at 8:15.

Jay Calvert of www.impulse-buys.com will not likely be there, so bring your stash of engines for those in need.  I will be available for L2 cert tests as needed.

Bundle up warm and dress in layers, I hope to see you all there!

Team-1,

The weather forecast for Birch Run on Saturday is gloomy.  Overcast, thick, low clouds with a bit of snow is on the docket, backed with 14 MPH winds from the NW, gusting to 27, temperature dropping.  This is an easy call, we will defer to Saturday the 25th and see what we get.
