March 29 launch is a No GO. End of HARA 2024-2025 high power flying season.

Rocketeers,
Unfortunately due to high wind gusts, 22mph forecast by 10am, we are a no go for tomorrow. Our only other weekend is 5 April before the farmer will start planting but rain is forecast for all next week. Even if Saturday is clear, the field will be a muddy mess.
Looks like our flying season is over.
We are planning a HARA Members only summer BBQ and HARA open house at GigaParts in the near future.

Launch is GO for tomorrow (Saturday, March 22)!

See y’all at the Jackson 5 field – launches should start around 10 AM.

March 8 launch is GO!

The field condition is suitable for supporting a launch tomorrow, so we are go to start launching around 10 AM at the Jackson 5 field. There will be a flyers’ briefing just before the launchings commence.

Please note that there will not be an on-site vendor tomorrow, so plan accordingly.

Come out and fly with us!

March 1 launch is GO!

The March 1 launch at the Jackson 5 field is GO! We will also have New Century Rocketry as our onsite vendor, so bring your cash!

Please bear in mind that high winds are forecast, so we will have to pause launching if the wind exceeds 20 mph. Consider limiting the altitude of your rockets so they do not drift out of the field.

Saturday’s (February 8) launch is scrubbed!

All,
Unfortunately due to high winds and low cloud cover we are postponing our HARA launch to 22 Feb. However rain is in the forecast for that week so keep your fingers crossed. If you know of any landowners with fields good for launching let us know and we will reach out to them.

See you Saturday!

Launch scrub!

Saturday’s (January 11) launch is postponed to January 25 due to projected snow/ice and hazardous travel conditions.

Launch scrub!

Due to forecast high winds above the 20 mph limit, this Saturday’s (December 14) launch is cancelled.

November 9th launch status – November 8 @ 1:30 PM

Tomorrow’s launch at the Jackson 5 field in Woodville is a GO!

However, the cloud ceiling is projected to be under 2000 feet, and our waiver forbids any rockets from flying into the clouds. So please choose motors that will put the rocket’s apogee under the cloud deck.

Just to repeat – Any rocket that can be reasonably expected to penetrate the cloud ceiling will not be allowed to fly.

HARA meeting postponed until July 11

Hi everyone!

Given that our normal meeting time falls on the 4th, we are postponing the HARA meeting until next Thursday, July 11. Don’t want to conflict with the Independence Day fireworks and cookouts!

Have a great 4th of July!
