Launch Postponed until October 3, 2026

 We just heard back from the Horning's and the corn that is still on the field is too wet to harvest yet. They don't expect to continue until next week. We'll postpone the launch to October 3rd and hope it doesn't rain next week.

Update for this Saturday September 26th.

Well, the Hornings are working on the field now but we are still not sure if it will be ready for Saturday. We will hold as long as we can but we may have to postpone. We may try for Sunday if we can't do Saturday. Otherwise we will have to push back to October 3rd.

Wish we could give you a more solid date but it all depends on the field.

Stay tuned and we will give an update as soon as we can.

September  26th Launch Update.

The Horning #3 field will not be ready for the 26th but the corn is being cut at Horning #1 so we will be moving the launch there. There is still a chance that we will have to move the launch back a week if all the corn can't be cut. The Hornings are waiting a bit to let the corn dry some more before they cut the rest. 

Keep a look out here for updates but we suspect we will be able to fly this Saturday.

Map to Horning #1 is here:

Next Launch September 26, 2026 (tentative)

If the crops stay on schedule, our next launch will be Saturday, September 26. We will probably still be at Horning #3. Could still change so check back here as we get closer to the date.

One for the Record Books!

So for our September 29th launch we had: 

140 sport flights.
2 competition flights.
29 fliers.

Best day we have had in some time.

Thanks to all that came out. The weather was near perfect and much fun was had.

Special thanks to:
Al and Roger for hitting the buttons all day.
All those that helped with setup and tear down.
And to Buzz for running back to the house to print more flight cards!

See you at the next launch!

Launch is ON for August 29th.

The field is being cut so we are GO for this Saturday August 29th.

We will be at the Horning #3 field. Setup at 9:00am and open for flights at 10:00am.

Lost and found!

We found a couple of rockets that drifted off to the west of the field during our launch on August 1st . You can pick them up at the next launch. 

Next Launch August 29, 2026 (tentative)

If the crops stay on schedule we will be back at the Horning #3 field on August 29th.

Well that wasn't so bad! 

Despite the threat of rain we were able to get a pretty good launch in. 54 flights with 11 fliers made for a great day! See you all next time.

Update for August 1, 2026 

We are going to show up and hope for the best!

Weather not great but we'll be there and see what happens. Should be able to get at least a few flights in today.

See you there!
