Team-1,

The weather for Saturday looks good with wind less than 15, mostly sunny in the afternoon and temp in the mid 50's.  With wind from the North, we can setup at the same point as we did last month since we now have permission on another 1/2 mile of land to our south!  Let the rockets drift south.  Our official area is now 1 mile tall and nearly a mile wide!  With this wind, we can allow flights to 13k or so.  Our motor vendor is unable to attend this weekend, so bring your motor stash.  Our motor magazine has about 10 engines available in the H-J range.

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 9:15.  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,

Due to the fact that Team-1 will have a large contingent of members at LDRS on April 18, we are deferring our launch to April 25.

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!
