Wow! I'm in!

I liked the safety presentations. We'll discuss some changes to how we do things at Amesbury.

I watched both safety presentations. They covered some of the things that are of concern to us such as power lines and non rocket friendly neighbors.

While those are ongoing, long-term concerns, I'm more interested in moving the flight line away from the pads by pivoting it 90° so it lines up with the truck and trailer and exists between the truck and the road. That way, all the pads can be angled toward the large part of the field and even a little up toward the hill if the wind conditions call for that. As nothing should be flying or be recovered toward the wires, that seems like the best place to put the people.
As we don't do salvo launching, we'll always have some folks out in the range recovering their rockets but that will be much safer than the arrangement we use now. I'd also think about moving the circle of pads closer to the road leaving the HP pad where they currently are.
This will be a topic of discussion at our February meetings.
