Fox Valley Rocketeers – 2022 and 2023 NAR National Champion Section
We have a rocketry home for you!
Information about special events, including those out of town.
Due to very wet field conditions, and forecast winds of 15+ MPH, we are unfortunately cancelling our Sunday, March 13 launch.
Our next event will be a building session, Saturday, March 19, 1:00 – 4:00 PM at the Woodstock Public Library, 414 West Judd Street, Woodstock, IL.
Our next scheduled launches will be Saturday, March 26, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and again Saturday, April 2, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, at our Davis Road launch site.
McHenry County is now reporting the highest number of COVID cases per 100k population in the history of the pandemic.
Thus, we are cancelling tomorrow’s planned building session at Woodstock North High School.
Due to wet field conditions and the wind forecast (17 MPH with gusts over 30 MPH), we are cancelling tomorrow’s launch.
See you in 2022!
The wind forecast for a possible launch this Sunday shows wind gusts in excess of Safety Code limits. There will not be a launch this Sunday.
If we manage to schedule any additional 2021 launches, we’ll post an announcement here and on our Facebook page.
Sunday’s forecast reads “Variably cloudy with snow showers. High 38F. Winds WSW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of snow 50%. Higher wind gusts possible.”
Unfortunately, we’re going to have to cancel our November 14 launch.
We’ll keep an eye on the November 21 forecast (which currently isn’t great), but it’s likely our 2021 flying season is over. 🙁
