Launch this Saturday, October 12th at Horning #2

We will be at the Horning #2 field this Saturday. Weather looks great for October.

See you there.

Launch Moved to Horning #2!

The corn has been cut so for the remainder of the year we will be flying from the Horning #2 field. This will give us a bigger field and make for easier parking.

You can find the field by clicking the link below. It's just a short distance from Horning #1.

While at Horning #1 you may park at either the north or south side of the old farm building.

And, of course, help setting up and tearing down is always appreciated!

 

We are On for this Saturday August 24, 2024!

We will be at the Horning #1 field. The crop has been cut so it should be an easy recovery.

Sparky motors are good to go as well.

Please park on either the north or south side of the old farm building.

August Launch Update

The next launch is scheduled for August 24th. Typically, our backup date would be one week later, but since that is a holiday weekend and many of us may have other plans, we are setting the backup date as September 7th. Our official September launch will be on September 21 and that is also the date for the Iron Man III contest.

 

The forecast for this week is nice, so the cut should occur as planned, but if it hasn't happened by Wednesday, we will need to switch to the backup date.

July Launch Bumped to Backup Date - July 27

The Horning's are pushing the next cut of alfalfa to the week of July 22, so we need to use our July 27 backup date for the launch. We apologize for the inconvenience. Continue to monitor the website, email listserv, and Discord for news and updates. The launch on the 27th will be at the Horning 1 field. 

 

Next Launch July 20, 2024 

Based on the current crop harvesting schedule we should be able to be back at the Horning 1 field on July 20th with the 27th as a backup date if the cutting is delayed a week.

We are adding some additional parking to our Horning 1 field. Please park on either the north or south side of the old farm building.

See the Google Maps link below for the location of our Horning 1 field:

Horning #1

Our launch on June 22nd turn out to be pretty good even with the heat and winds building in the afternoon. We started early to beat the heat and got 51 rockets into the air. Thanks to all for coming out.

Next Launch Jun 22, 2024 

Based on the current crop harvesting schedule we can expect to use the Horning 1 field on June 22nd with the 29th as a backup date if the cutting is delayed a week.

Looking further ahead, we can expect to fly in July on the 20th or 27th.

Launch for May 11 Cancelled

 Due to heavy rains overnight and more rain and wind expected today we are going to have to cancel for today, May 11.

We will try again at the Horning #2 field next Saturday, May 18.

Launch set for May 11 and May 18.

 

Two launch dates have been scheduled in May. On May 11 and on May 18 we will be our Horning #2 field. Note that this at a different, but nearby, location than our normal Horning #1 field.
