will get you pretty close.

Launch this Saturday, July 2, 2022!

Sorry for the short notice but the hay has been cut earlier than we expected, so we will be at the Horning #1 field this Saturday July 2. Still checking on if we can get the JMRC trailer on site so stayed tuned. Also, we were not able to get a porta potty (vendor is sold out) but Buzz lives just up the road (about 0.5miles) and has offered to open his home for our use. So please leave room when you park so folks can drive over.
If you plug this address into Google Maps it will get you to the field:
5680 Ernst Rd, Manchester, MI.
Make sure to use Google Maps, other sources may yield unpredictable results.

Next Launch June 4, 2022 at Horning #1

The field will be getting it's first cut soon so we will be able to get in and fly on June 4th. Plug this into Google Maps and that will take you to the field:

42.199989, -83.967653

Or:

5680 Ernst Rd, Manchester, MI

will get you pretty close.

Flights to 3000' are approved!

 Next Launch May 21-22 with MMAR/SMASH

Our next launch will be a joint launch with MMAR/SMASH at the Muskegon Waste Water Facility. Please see the website at http://www.smashrocketry.org/index.html for directions and further information.

For the rest of the summer launches will most likely be at our Horning#1 field but only after the hay has been cut. Please continue to check back and we will post when we have a date set.

 Next Launch April 30!

We will be holding our first launch of 2022 on April 30 at Horning Field #2. The JMRC trailer will not be there so we will once again be running "Misfire Alley" style. We will have equipment for high power flight available but bring your own equipment for low power launches. If you don't have your own low power launch equipment I'm sure we can still find some for you to use.

The JMRC cafe will not be there so pack a lunch.

The Horning #2 field is northeast of Manchester on Bethel Church Road between Lima Center Road and Schneider Road, 1.25 miles south of Pleasant Lake.

November 13th launch cancelled.

Well dang...
Lousy weather forecast for Saturday so we are going to cancel the launch. 

Next launch November 13, 2021

Our next launch will be November 13, 2021 at our Horning #2 field. 

 Thanks to all that came out to fly!

Our launch on October 13th turned out to be a pretty good day! Mild temperatures and next to no wind made for a great day to fly with 50 rockets heading into the sky.

October 9th launch Canceled! 

Do to all the rain we've been getting with more on the way we are going to have to cancel our launch scheduled for this Saturday, October 9th. The field is a muddy mess so what ya gonna do?

The next launch is set for October 23rd with the Bertha contest rescheduled for November 13th.

Dang that Mother Nature!

 September Launch Cancelled. Next launch October 9, 2021

We're postponing the launch again because the field still has a lot of corn on it and we can't be sure it will all be harvested by the 25th, especially with several days of possible rain this week. What we've decided to do is set the date for the next launch as October 9th which would be our normal, second Saturday of the month date. Then we will hold another launch on October 23rd, two weeks later, followed by the November launch on Nov 13th. If weather permits, we'll attempt a launch in December, but December through April is always iffy at best. Sorry, to push this out yet again, but we're at the mercy of crop harvesting. They've been cutting corn nearly every day lately. The launch will be at the Horning #2 field.

As for the Big Bertha Contest, we'll hold that on that on October 9th, so get your Big Bertha's ready!
