 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!

 Next launch September 25, 2021


Due to harvesting priorities our next launch will be at Horning Field 2 instead of Field 1 we used last month. It's a much bigger field so it will be great to get back on there. The corn is being harvested from the Horning fields starting this week, but we don't have a high probability that H2 will be clear by the 18th. We are nearly 100% sure it will be cleared by the 25th, so to play it safe we are planning on 9/25 for the launch date. Directions to the Horning 2 field can be found above by clicking on the "Launch Field" tab.

This will be another, bring your own gear, "misfire alley" field setup. It worked pretty well last month, just be sure to announce your launches so everyone has a heads up. We also won't have the JMRC Cafe, so pack a lunch. We will stop by the trailer and grab a wireless controller for high power launches, so if you have a HPR pad you can use the wireless set.
