Next Event

Many thanks to all the folks who helped put up and take down equipment on Sunday morning. As predicted, the winds picked up and a red flag fire warning was issued so we had to shut down launches early  We did get four perfect launches off, including two sucessful L1cert flights before the range was closed  around 10 AM.

Our next launch (weather permitting and assuming no red flag conditions) will be on May 18. I will update the website and launch status as we get closer to the launch dates.

Our standing wavier is up to 7,000 ft. AGL but our waiver can be extended to 14, 200 ft. AGL. Please let me know if you are planning on going high when you arrive so I can call in the launch window. We generally launch from 8AM until around 2PM or until the wind picks up. As always, please check the website for any last minute changes or cancellations before heading to Hartsel..
