[Rockets] OROC Wilsonville model launch this weekend, Sunday October 10, 2pm-5pm

[Keith Packard]

Oregon Rocketry is hosting a Model Rocket Launch event at Memorial Park
in Wilsonville, Oregon on Sunday, October 10th, 2010. The range is open
for flights between 2:00pm and 5:00pm, setup begins at 1:30pm.

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; 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 1:30pm 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:

 Sunday, Oct 10, 2:00-5:00
