[Rockets] OROC Wilsonville model launch this weekend, Saturday November 13, 12pm-3pm

[Keith Packard]

Note -- this is on Saturday, starting at 12:00 as it gets dark by 5:00
in November.

Oregon Rocketry is hosting a Model Rocket Launch event at Memorial Park
in Wilsonville, Oregon on Saturday, November 13th, 2010. The range is open
for flights between 12:00pm and 3:00pm, setup begins at 11:30am.

Class 1 rockets under the new FAR101 unmanned rocket rules include; (1)
Uses no more than 125 grams (4.4 ounces) of propellant; (2) Uses a
slow-burning propellant; (3) Is made of paper, wood, or breakable
plastic; (4) Contains no substantial metal parts; and (5) Weighs no more
than 1,500 grams (53 ounces), including the propellant. A through G
motors are welcome, and even some H motors. You must however stay below
our altitude limits. Conditions of the site mostly limit us to 1000 feet
or cloud deck. Clear conditions and zero/low wind may permit higher
fights. Ask the LCO if restrictions apply and approval for flight.

Join us. Bring the family. Bring some rockets and have a great time
flying. No RSVP necessary, just show up. When you arrive at the park,
turn to the left and follow the road into the South East section of the
field.

Fliers; all NAR rules apply, plus any additional rules / restrictions
for this site. A fliers meeting right at the start, so everyone is on
the same page for rules / restrictions. LCO tables are not for prep,
please use the available tables in the prep area. This is a sanctioned
launch event by National Association of Rocketry through NAR section 555
OREO (Steve Tarr).

Support staff; We are planning to arrive 30 minutes early to set
up. We'll have a six rod launch pad (has 1/8, 3/8, and 1/4" rods), and
two LCO tables, flight line stakes, and a couple of launch
controllers. We need extra tables for the prep area. We'll hold a fliers
meeting right at the start, so everyone is on the same page for rules /
restrictions.

The weather is supposed to be cloudy and there may be rain, so bring a
rain jacket and waterproof shoes.

This is the next-to-last model launch of the year:

Schedules and other details for all of the the OROC launches can be

I'll be heading for Taipei, but thanks to Mike and Stefan for
volunteering to run the launch!
