NCR Club Launch

North Site - Pawnee Grasslands

Saturday August 10th, 2002

Launch Summary

A small group of flyers came out to have a fun day at the North site. The new launch system worked great, although we started a little late as we all tried to learn our way around setting it up. Mark Lionberger had a successful Level 2 certification flight. Keven Kuczek (World champ duration competitor) wowed the crowd by flying his piston launched helicopter recovery bird - this served as shakedown flights in preparation of his trip to Prague for International competition. The Hybrid flights were cut short when the N2O tank ran out of liquid.

Weather Conditions

Clear and clearer, with a little breeze. Highs topped out in the mid-80's with a breeze throughout the day.

All launch events will be conducted using nationally approved/accepted range safety practices. The launching of rockets on NFS land is normally prohibited under a Forest Service Region 2 fire regulation. The issuance of NCR’s permit allows launches to take place by exempting the Holder from that regulation for approved launch events only. All launches, other than those conducted by the Holder during approved launch events, are outside the scope of this permit and are prohibited by Forest Service regulations.
