[RocketsNW] Summer Thunder Rocket Launch 26JUL09/1000-1800, 60 Acres Park

[Hammer]

Launch Name: Summer Thunder
Location: 60 Acres Park
Date: 26 July 2009
Time: 10:00AM to 6:00PM

The Summer Thunder rocket launch, hosted by no one in particular, will 
be held at 60 Acres Park in Redmond, Washington. Launch operations will 
commence on Sunday, 26 July 2009 at 10:00AM and conclude around 6:00PM  
I'd like to encourage all rocketeers in the Seattle area to attend this 
launch. Several people will be bringing their own launch pads and launch 
controllers to the launch site as the non-existent launch host has none 
to provide.

Fly your rocket!!
All rockets from 1/4A to H power are welcome. Regardless of motor, you 
must ensure your rocket can land within the confines of the park.
Spot landings are encouraged! This launch allows only FAA "Class 1" 
rockets - up to 125g of propellant, and max rocket weight of 1,500 grams 
(3.3 lbs)

Win a prize!!
Roadside Hobbies is sponsoring a boost glider contest.  Four prizes will 
be awarded to the following achievements.
1) The best decorated boost glider,
2) 13mm motor duration, 3) 18mm motor duration using A motors, and
4) 18mm motor duration using B motors.
The best decorated model will be determined by the rocketeers who 
attend.  Fly your model as many times as you want and submit your best 
time.  We will need volunteers with good eye sight and stop watches.  We 
will also need binoculars for tracking in case a some models decide to 
thermal away.                       
Buy rockets and motors!
Roadside Hobbies will also be the vendor on site selling rocket kits and 
motors.  If you looking for something in particular before the launch 
you can contact them at fred_bare at yahoo.com.

Fly Safely!!
Flying safely is critical to our continued access to the field. Please
refrain from landsharking, cruisemissling, lawndarting, and 
coresampling. Anyone flying for the first time is more than welcome to 
present their rocket to one of the seasoned rocketeers for a safety 
inspection.

60 Acres Park is located in the very beautiful, scenic, and sunny 
metropolis of Redmond, Washington and is very easy to find. If your 
rocket needs directions to the launch site please enter this address 
below into Google Earth or other mapping website or software.
15200 NE 116th Street, Remond, WA 98052.
The park is split in half by NE 116th street. Launch and recovery 
operations will be conducted on the north side of the field with parking 
available. For more info go to http://www.60acres.org/ .

When you leave the launch site please be sure to take all of your 
belongings and trash. If you leave anything, please be sure it's 
something we'd like to have. Even though there are garbage containers on 
the field, they don't get emptied on a regular basis.

A flyer for the launch has been created in PDF format by Dave Randall 
that you can download, print and post at your local hobby shop or place 
of work.
