Team-1,

Since the forecast for next week looks worse, we are going to do an EARLY launch tomorrow to avoid later afternoon weather!  Setup time is moved up to 8am so we can begin launching by 9:15. We will try to wrap up at 2:30 if the 3pm storm is confirmed.  However, the morning looks like great launch weather!

I have no L2 certs to do, so I will be helping with setup in the hopes that we can get in the air as soon as possible.  Arrive early, and register and set up your gear right away to take advantage of the early nice weather window.  Jay Calvert of www.impulse-buys.com will be in attendance for all of your motor needs!

The temperature will be nice, but it may be a bit humid.  In honor of the July 20, 1969 moon landing, I am bringing Tang for your refreshment!  Prepare to weather a brief rain shower if it arises and I will use my Prefect powers to try to deflect it! :)

As always, bring your Tripoli membership card and registration cash.  Not enough time for Cracker barrel this time so it'll be faster food for me.

I hope to see you all there!

Team-1,

The weather we've been hoping for is here this Saturday!  Wind under 10mph, temp in the low 80's, some high clouds - a perfect launch day!  It will be a nice warm day, so bring lots to drink, a shady tent, sunblock and your sunglasses!

Unfortunately Jay will be elsewhere this weekend, so bring your spare motors to sell/trade.  We have about 9 single use 38mm Aerotech motors in the H to J range in the Team-1 magazine.  We prioritize them for certification attempts, but they are available.

As always, setup and L2 written testing starts at 9am and remember to bring your Tripoli membership card and registration cash.  For those interested, some of us meet at the Pierson Rd Cracker Barrel for breakfast at 7:15.

I hope to see you all there!

Team-1,

Seems like the wind is our nemesis this year.  Winds from the SSW are forecasted for 16+MPH all day with gusts to 38!  With the temperature predicted to be 93 (heat index 98), it would be like launching rockets in a convection oven!  The June 28 forecast looks much better at 81 degrees with wind from the NNW at 7mph.  We are deferring the launch to June 28.   Jay Calvert of  Impulse-buys.com is scheduled to be elsewhere on that day, so arrange for motors ahead of time.  I know summer is busy, but I hope you can rearrange your schedule to be there!
