From the AARG Prefect:




I am going out to the field in the old suburban, not the trailer,
and will arrive by 7 so we can get something set up for early risers
(likely the only ones to fly anything).  I figure that if we have
flyable conditions with both skies and winds cooperating they will go
away by noon at the latest.  If you desire to fly something come early
and hope for the best.  Best guess so far is that winds will be flyable
at 10-20 until 11 when they will start gusting over 20, skies are
starting overcast but may burn off by 10 so we could have just a bit of
marginal conditions mid morning.  Lower altitude flight to 1200-1500
should be good for first thing and we will play it by conditions from
there.

One provision, this is Texas and the weather likes to change, we
could be blown away earlier than expected or have conditions go later
than now thought of.  Everyone please make your own mind up and we will
try to have something of a launch this week.

Rick

We are trying to get in as many launches as possible before we loose the Hutto
field. So we are annoucing another TRA Research launch on 3/14/09.

The weather is not at all looking positive for this weekend but a final call
will be made Thursday evening.

AUSTIN AREA ROCKETRY GROUP is announcing a special
Tripoli Research launch event for Saturday, Mar 14, 2009,
9:00 am to 3:00pm or until interest wanes.

Directions to the Huttodrome (Hutto, Texas) are here:

SPECIAL NOTE FOR CHILDREN: ************

We wish to emphasize safety on the range and we are particularly
concerned about the safety of the children that we welcome and enjoy
at our launches. Children enjoy model rocketry and often are very
excitable, particularly when endeavoring to chase their rocket after
it has landed.

Parents and Guardians should pay special attention to their youngster
and be midful that often the range is still active after the launch
of any particular project from the pads. Please remind your young'un
to wait at the flight line until the LCO, Parent/Guardian (or other
mindful adult) indicates that it is safe to leave the flight line
(for any reason).

While the pads are active and flights are occuring, participants and
spectators need to pay attention to any flights that are occuring,
and rockets that are coming back to earth. Particpants should be at
the flight line and observing the pads as launches are being
performed.

Children are very interested in the little buttons at the Launch
Control table. If your child is inclined to permeate informal/social
barriers, please be mindful that the operations area of the Field is
responsible for range safety and is NOT a play area.

_________________________________________________________


--------------------------------------------
HEALTH SAFETY:

It will be Summer Conditions at the field, so be prepared with plenty
of water. At the range, you should consider yourself in the
wilderness.

Bring your own shade. The shade at the operations tables is limited
and is for members performing range duty.

I suggest lip balm, a hat and perhaps sunscreen for sensitive skins.
If you anticipate going into the forest after your project, long
pants and covered footwear is suggested (Shorts and Sandals is NOT a
good idea).

DRINK WATER! DRINK WATER!

Children:

I would suggest that special attention be paid to the attire of your
children, as they are particularly vulnerable to unprotected feet and
legs, and the heat (less surface area per body mass is less efficient
in cooling the body). "Crocs" are NOT recommended. Children treat
rocketry as a track and field event!

It doesn't seem far sometimes, but hiking for 30 - 45
minutes (working hard) in 100 degree temperatures without shade
can take it out of you, quick. I suggest a canteen, camel-back, or
other water bottle/container that is comfortable to hike with during
recovery operations in order to prevent getting stupid from the heat
and falling over.

One of my passions in life is high power rocketry. On September 6, 2009 I will
be using my passion for rocketry to dedicate a flight in memory of my mother
–Barbara McFadden- who passed away last November after battling Parkinson's for
almost 20 years. I am seeking donations to sponsor this flight. 100% of all
donations will be sent to the Michael J Fox  Foundation for Parkinson's
Research. http://www.michaeljfox.org/

The rocket: "Barbara Jean"
This is a kit offered by Wildman Rocketry called the Wildman Dual Deploy. It is
a 3" diameter, 90.75 inches in length and will weigh over 12 lbs on the pad.
This will be launched on an Animal Motor Works L1300 Blue Baboon motor. The
motor was generously donated by Paul from AMW for this flight. The expected
altitude will be about 10,400', almost 2 miles. Other necessary components for
this flight include a MAWD altimeter from Perfectflite, a Parrot altimeter from
Featherweight Altimeters, and a Sky Angle parachute also from Wildman Rocketry.
http://www.wildmanrocketry.com/    http://www.amwprox.com/
http://www.perfectflite.com/    http://www.featherweightaltimeters.com/

The event: Airfest 2009
Airfest is a 4 day rocket launch sponsored by the KloudBusters Rocketry Club of
Argonia Kansas. These are a great group of people that put on a premier event
over the Labor Day weekend. I am anticipating launching this rocket on Sunday,
September 6.
http://www.kloudbusters.org/    http://www.kloudbusters.org/airfest/airfest.html

How to donate: Cash, check, or credit card.
1. I have a form available in which your donation can be sent into the
Foundation.
2. Go to http://www.teamfox.org and click on donate. Click on support a member
and enter my name (Mike McFadden) or the event (Airfest).
3. I'll accept cash or checks and forward 100% to the Foundation at the
conclusion of the flight.

The Michael J Fox  Foundation for Parkinson's Research is providing support,
information, and research about this terrible affliction. From Wikipedia:
Parkinson's Disease is a chronic and progressive degenerative disease of the
brain that impairs motor control, speech, and other functions. The disease is
named after English physician James Parkinson, who gave a detailed description
of it in an 1817 work titled, "An Essay on the Shaking Palsy".Parkinson's
disease belongs to a group of conditions called movement disorders. It is
characterized by muscle rigidity, resting tremor, slowing of movement and, in
extreme cases, nearly complete loss of movement. Secondary symptoms may include
high level cognitive dysfunction, subtle language problems, and depression.

There will be no AARG research launch this month. The next one will be in
November.

Everyone have a great weekend!
Jeff

Find below the Launch announcement from Mark. I'll make a few minor additions:

a> Jeff Short will have Aerotech hardware and reloads available at the launch.
CTI and AMW to follow soon.
b> Stu Barrett will have RoadRunner motors available as well.
c> I know the forcast this far out isn't worth much but it's looking to be a
really pretty day. High of 74, low of 54, winds under 8mph all day.

Come on out and join us for some FUN!
Jeff

performed.

Children are very interested in the little buttons at the Launch
Control table. If your child is inclined to permeate informal/social
barriers, please be mindful that the operations area of the Field is
responsible for range safety and is NOT a play area.

HEALTH SAFETY:

The weather conditions may be moderate at the field, but be prepared with
drinking water. At the range, you should consider yourself in the
wilderness.

Bring your own shade. The shade at the operations tables is limited
and is for members performing range duty.

If you anticipate going into the forest after your project, long
pants and covered footwear is suggested (Shorts and Sandals is NOT a
good idea).

Children:

I would suggest that special attention be paid to the attire of your
children, as they are particularly vulnerable to unprotected feet and
legs, and the heat (less surface area per body mass is less efficient
in cooling the body). "Crocs" are NOT recommended. Children treat
rocketry as a track and field event!

It doesn't seem far sometimes, but hiking for 30 - 45
minutes (working hard) in even moderate temperatures without shade
can take it out of you, quick. I suggest a canteen, camel-back, or
other water bottle/container that is comfortable to hike with during
recovery operations in order to prevent dehydration and discomfort.
