To all: Just talked to Thomas, he said him and Bob are on the way to the
field in Kentland to evaluate the launch site and are keeping an eye on the
weather radar. Nothing official yet on Go or No Go. He will advice via
email.

NRVR fliers,
Thanks to the efforts of Kevin Shinpaugh we were able to get permission for
a one day launch at Kentland Farms for tomorrow, July 27. Several of you
ordered motors from Ken Allen at Performance Hobbies and together the order
was large enough for Ken to give us free shipping. FedEx just delivered
that package to me and [we will be bringing them to the launch site in the
morning, or will get them to you soon if we're rained out].
Now some bad news.
I have not applied for an FAA waiver for NRVR at Kentland Farms. In the
past
we have used the waiver that the VAST club has. I thought I could use that
waiver and asked if we could but the answer was no. So at this point we do
not have a waiver for our own [high power] launches and so are limited to
Class 1 rockets (3.3 pounds or under and 125 grams of propellant or under)
at
any of our launches. I have started the waiver submission process and hope
that we will have our own waiver in the next 6-8 weeks, but this is not
something I can control.
Another issue that I have no control over is the weather and the last
forecast I saw called for 80% chance of rain on Saturday.
** I am [NOT] calling off the launch for tomorrow just yet, but it
** is not looking favorable. The officers will monitor the weather
** and make a call as soon as possible, probably by 9:00 am tomorrow.
** [So watch this mail list in the morning].
If we get rained out we will discuss options for another launch, but next
week is Steppin' Out in Blacksburg, and I have commitments for the next 2
weekends that will make me unavailable after 3:00 on Saturdays and all day
Sunday.
Thanks for all your support and we will get some rockets in the air soon.

Tweeks,
I was looking at photos from some previous launches, and got a 403 forbidden
error. The ones I have encountered were from Kentland Farms, Two Day Spring
Launch 2012-02-04th & 5th. There may be others. I know you will not be able
to fix this for a few days or weeks, but I thought you ought to know.
Eric
