Team-1,

Weather for Saturday at Birch Run is looking good.  Low wind 7-10 mph from the WSW, temp in the 50s, sunny early and cloudy later.  High flights should prepare to launch early.  Since the early weather is better, we will be doing setup at Birch Run at 9am.  The only risk is surface mud due to the warm daytime temperature.  If the field conditions get poor, we may need to stop earlier than normal.

Jay Calvert of www.impulse-buys.com is scheduled to attend, so get your motors for LDRS while he is local!  We have a couple of university teams attending, one with a 'L' motor scheduled!  Don't miss them!

Dress in layers, it will be cold early and warm up quickly.  Don't forget your Tripoli membership card and registration cash.  

I hope to see you all there!

Team-1,

The forecast for Saturday is breezy, cloudy, some snow, not a good launch day.

However Sunday looks great with wind about 7mph, partly sunny, temp in the 20s!   Jay Calvert of www.impulse-buys.com is able to attend for motor availability.  Wind from the NNE should help keep rockets in our allowable recovery area, so I am allowing flights to 16K from the road!

As always, remember to bring your Tripoli card and cash for registration.   Setup begins at 8:45 at Alkay for equipment pickup, with Birch Run setup starting at 9:30.  Those interested in breakfast at the Cracker Barrel on Pierson Rd will find me there by 7:30.  Dress in layers and don't forget the sunglasses.  I hope to see you all there!

Team-1,

The forecast for Saturday calls for low clouds with 99% coverage.  The wind is also a bit high at 12-18mph, so we will defer the launch.  Sunday calls for snow, so we will try for next Saturday, Feb. 28.
