Estes has a new rocket lab course on CD for learning and building rockets.

Estes Rocket Lab Lessons use a 3 Easy Step format that was designed just for model rockets.
Estes Rocket Labs (ERL) cover all five subjects and are for Grades 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12. There are a total of 45 different lesson plans for one, two and three class sessions. Each lesson includes National Standards correlations, objectives, materials list, background information, activities, assessments, extensions and more. Lesson aides including PowerPoints, student handouts and a video are also on the DVD. ERL lessons are perfect for individual lessons or to use for cross-curricular learning, too!

We had a great day launching at the field today. We hosted 35+ scouts who earned their merit badges today… CONGRATS! We had a couple of lost rockets due to the wind and one was retrieved after the event and given to the Scout Master. We welcome you all back to come fly with us next month!

The club had a successful day however the wind picked up by launch time and remained pretty steady between 10-14 mph with gusts over twenty. All the rockets performed well and had great flights except for the SR71 Blackbirds which did not handle the wind well ending in two nose dives. We also had a few F engine launches that went well along with a number of  successful TARC launches. We wish The TARC participants success on their path to the competition.

Our next launch will be Sunday April 11th at 1pm as the 4th falls on the Easter Holiday.

So get those rockets built and we look forward to seeing you all at the next launch.

Folks,

Conditions are very favorable for our launch today. Winds will be around 8-10mph from the NW so we will set up in the lower field near the parking lot.

The scouts will launch at 11am and our launch will begin after they are done so plan on being there around 12:30pm.

The fields are probably still wet so make sure you bring the appropriate footwear.

Jose from Heavenly Hobbies will be there with additional rocketry supplies and engines if you need them.

Looks to be a great day for flying so come on down!

The weather should be in the mid 50’s by launch time with the wind between 5-8 mph coming from the WNW. If the wind stays in this direction we will launch down by the parking lot. The field may still be wet and soggy so wear appropriate footwear.

Check back by 9 am Sunday for final launch determination.

We hope to see you all there!

Our next Club launch will be Sunday, March 7th at 1pm at the 18th Avenue Location in Wall Township. We will have a SCOUT launch prior to the Club commencing at 11am. Please feel free to drop by before the launch to help out.

Jose from Heavenly Hobbies will be at the launch so let him know in advance if you need any Rocketry supplies, engines or kits and he can bring them to the launch. See HEAVENLY HOBBIES site.

We welcome you to come join us in flying and to learn about the club.
