Fox Valley Rocketeers – 2022 and 2023 NAR National Champion Section

The park district forgot to unlock the gate at our Davis Road launch site. Due to the holiday weekend, we were unable to contact anyone at the park district to get the gate open. So we unfortunately had to cancel the May 17 launch.

Join us for our next launch, Saturday, June 10, 9-1, at Davis Road.

We are go to launch at the Hughes Farm launch site on Saturday, 9 am – 1 pm.  The waiver has been activated and HPR flights are available up to 6,000 AGL.

WET FIELD PROTOCOL IS IN EFFECT.  DO NOT USE THE GRAVEL ROAD AS IT IS EXTREMELY ROUGH AND WET.  THE OWNER WILL CONSIDER DISCONTINUING OUR USE OF THIS FIELD IF ANYONE USES THE GRAVEL ROAD.

We will be flying from the west side of the field (Dimmel Road).  Winds are forecast to be 8-10 MPH from the south, so plan your flights accordingly.

Winds are forecast to be over Safety Code limits (with snow showers), so we are cancelling the Saturday, April 1 launch.

Saturday’s forecast reads “Winds NW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of snow 100%. 1 to 3 inches of snow expected. Higher wind gusts possible.”

Our March 25 launch is cancelled.
