[Rockets] OROC Model Launch. October 11th, 2-5pm. Memorial Park, Wilsonville

[Keith Packard]

Oregon Rocketry is again hosting a Model Rocket Launch event at Memorial
Park in Wilsonville, Oregon on October 11th, 2009. Setup begins at 1:00pm,
range is open for flights between 2:00pm and 5:00pm

It's Columbus day weekend, and for those who've been here a while,
let's hope that we don't get a repeat of that blustry event.

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.

Wilsonville Memorial Park
8100 SW Wilsonville Rd.
Wilsonville, OR 97070

Fliers; Event time is 2:00pm - 5:00pm; 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 by 1:00pm to scope out parking and field
preference. 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. So no OROC GSE is needed for this event. We need extra
tables for the prep area. We'll hold a fliers meeting right at noon, so
everyone is on the same page for rules / restrictions.

This is our first fall model launch, so plan for cool weather and hope
for sun.  Wear a hat, bring a warm sweater and a rain coat.

Future Wilsonville model launches:

November 14th (12-3pm)

Schedule details for all of the the OROC launches can be found on the
