We have a joint launch scheduled for 11 June with the Rhode Island Model Rocket Association (RIMRA) at their field in West Kingston, RI. Check their website for directions. Set up will start at 9 AM and we'll fly well into the afternoon.

There is an airshow taking place in the area both days that weekend so we must limit flights to 1500-feet maximum. We can launch HPR but please select your rocket and motor combinations to stay below the 1500-foot limit. This applies to low-and mid-power rockets, too.

The plan is to use the CMASS ring of 11 pads and launch controller for low- and mid-power flights and the RIMRA HPR set up including their wireless launch controller.

I'm looking to car pool to West Kingston RI from the Amesbury MA general vicinity if anyone is interested. Will know by Wed 8-Jun if I am available to attend. Will have the igniter wires maintenance completed by mid-week too, so those need to go south even if I do not. Thanks, -Alan

P.S. Unrelated: One of you CMASS web admins when you get a moment please add the year to the titles of articles by Claude M. back thru 7-Oct-2015 ///

Alan,

Thanks for the work on the wires and all the rest you've been doing. I'll be heading down and would be happy to have the company even if it's just the wires. We can firm up plans later in the week.

Unfortunately I will not be able to make the 11-Jun-2016 RIMRA launch. Kenn, I can drop off to you one box of igniter wires and couplers. I'll send you an email to set up a day/time before Saturday. -Alan

THE JOINT LAUNCH HAS BEEN POSTPONED.
RIMRA is updating their FAA waiver and the new one hasn't been issued yet.
We will be rescheduling the launch and will advise.
