Alamo Rocketeers Launch - 12/17/2011 - Change of Field!
All -
The Alamo Rocketeers' monthly launch for December is a *go* for tomorrow as of 1200 today. However, we will NOT be launching at our normal launch site of Alamo Fireworks in China Grove. That field has been sold and the new owners will not allow us to continue launching rockets there. So... we are now launching at the Kitty hawk Flying Field in Garden Ridge, TX. Just north of San Antonio off of I35N and FM3009. [ Link to Google Map of Kitty Hawk ] We will be launching from 1000 to 1400. Park in the parking area just to the right after you cross the railroad tracks. Current weather forecast is for 50 degrees and 10 mph winds at 1000, improving to 53+ degrees and 8 mph winds at 1400.

Alamo Rocketeers December 2011 Launch Report
We had a *great* launch yesterday despite the light turnout. Stu and
Burt and I were there. The winds were fairly steady but light and they came from an optimal direction (behind the hangers). Temps were tolerable and there was no rain. The ground was fairly solid and we had a huge recovery area. I've posted pictures to my Flickr account. No videos this time, though. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dwmars...57628462959575/ I think the Kitty Hawk field will work out quite well for us in the future!
