[NRV Rocketry] High Power Launch @ Kentland Farms, April 19th, 10am - 4pm

[Thomas Weeks]

Hey all,

Don't forget, we have our April 19th launch coming up next Saturday.

Motor Vendor:
We have Kevin Dunn from WildmanVA Rocketry scheduled to be on site as our 
motor vendor and he's taking orders now for on-site delivery (no hazmat or 
shipping fees!).  Just be sure to get any orders in before mid-day Friday so 
that he can have them boxed up and ready for you when he shows up on Saturday.


Cert Flights:
If you're planning on doing your L1 or L2 certification flight that day, a 
couple of things:

*  Please notify rso at nrvr.org of your plans (so we can have the 
paperwork/exams, etc on hand) as we can discuss your launch

*  WildmanVA still has the FREE CTI Motor Casings deal in place if you buy 
your cert motor grains from him (I got my 6 grain casing from him for my 
planned L2 flight!)


Launch Expectations:
As always for Kentland, anyone planning a flight over 4,000ft (AGL) please 
contact rso_at_nrvr.org.  Our RSO will want to review the details of your 
flight with you (your rocket design, motor, recovery, simulations, and related 
info & expectations).

I think Bob has a big daddy L motor he's planning to fly in his newly re-
painted "United We Stand". If you haven't seen this 12foot beast go up, it's a 
real treat!  Here are some pictures of him setting it up and flying it back in 
2011. It's a real crowd pleaser as its monster L actually echos off the 
mountains!

I hear there may be some  certification  attempts going on too (always 
exciting).  I myself /may/ even finally be getting around to doing my L2 cert 
flight (J motor) Saturday on my low-drag, high flying Talon3,  sporting its 
fancy new Nike-X style paint job </fingers crossed>:

Hot Dogs Anyone?
I'm still checking on some details, but I'm also trying to get a new friend of 
mine, Tom from "Eat The Family Dog" (a new NRV hot dog stand vendor) to come 
out to feed us from 11am-3pm. He's got some killer, Boars Head dogs, chili 
dogs, kraut dogs (boiled AND grilled), frito pie, snacks, drinks and more -- 
and boy is his chili good! Anyway, a dedicated food vendor is always nice to 
have at launches, and it saves my wife from making a "burger run" in the 
afternoon. :)


Want To Help Setting Up?:
Members (or anyone wanting to help), if you would like to help with morning 
setup, please let Bob and I know (officers at nrvr.org).  We will be meeting at 
the Prices Fork Hardees at around 8:15am Saturday morning for breakfast, to be 
at the field at 9am for setup. Launches commence from 10am.  Likewise, anyone 
who can help with breakdown (some time after 4pm, or whenever we stop 
shooting'em up), we can always use a hand with that too! :)

Any questions? Ask us here on the main mail list, or directly if you're the 
quiet type. :)

Come Fly With Us!
