We are GO for the July launch. We are very short staffed this month so we would appreciate all the help we can get during and especially with clean up at the end of the day. It will be hot as usual for July so we will be opening the range at 7am and more than likely closing down as early as 11am to noon.
IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ……….
For anyone looking to certify DO NOT SHOW UP AT 10am and expect to get your rocket on the pad and get your flight done. You need to ARRIVE EARLY and be ready to get your rocket on the pad. Do not plan to arrive at 10am and still need to prep your entire project. Your project needs to be on the pad by 10am so it can be flown, recovered, inspected and signed off on before we start tearing down the range. I’m not trying to discourage anyone with saying this but it is hot and we have had too many flyers show up an hour or less before we shut down and expect to get their flight done or tell us that “we just need 20 minutes to be ready” and an hour later still having a discussion on the best way to pack a chute. So, PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY AND BE READY is all I am asking so you have plenty of time and we are not waiting in the heat for someone to come back to get their paperwork signed. Thank you for understanding and see you on the playa.
