Ellsberry launch – corrections

A few corrections to the announcement I sent out this morning:

  • I've been reminded that it's nigh upon winter (I don't get out much) and since sunset is earlier, the range will only be open 10:00 am to 4:00pm, not 5:00pm.
  • The monster pad will be available, since Mark McCord will be using it for his level 3 certification flight (Go Mark!)
  • Dan Welling spoke with the landowner today and he is happy to host us. The field is in good shape since it's been dry, but there is corn stubble on the ground that will have to be cleared away from launch pads and such.
  • If anyone wants to get up to Ellsberry early and meet for breakfast, that will be at Rachel's around 7:30-8:00am, followed by heading to the field for setup.
  • If you have questions on the day of the launch (have trouble finding the field, for instance), Dan Welling (314-438-7823) will be the contact. I'm unsure at this point whether I can be there.

If you have questions between now and then, though, feel free to reply to this email.

Thanks,
Dan Crank
