Thanks Mike G and Mike Smith

I know we already have at least 5 additional attendees also ... waiting to
see if we have more...

Anyhow, for those of you who haven't flown an N, here's a perfect chance to
do that while getting all of the love and help
from your fellow TCC fliers!!!

Hi Folks,

Great news! Bummed about DairyAire this year - here is your chance to
make up for it!

We managed to plan and put together a TCC Club launch out at Blackrock
on the weekend of Independence Day (4th of July) ! We also have a
commitment from Bay Area Rocketry
to for the weekend for as our vendor.

Launch Dates

Friday 07/03 (6AM to 6PM - Site B+ (150K+) from 10AM-12PM)
Saturday 07/04 "
Sunday 07/05 "

The FAA has approved our flight operations from surface to 150K (146K
AGL)
and the range will be open from 6AM - 6PM for all 3 days of the event
(the whole weekend).

Launch Site A (BALLS Site)

DMS N40°52'59.73" W119°02'04.73"
DD N40.883258, W119.034647 (40.883258, -119.034647)

(Alternate site available for large projects)

If you are planning high altitude flights up to 50K AGL, please send
your package with all supporting paperwork to me and Richard King for
approval.

If you're flying over 50K AGL, you will need approval by the Tripoli
Class 3 Committee 90 days prior to flight. Since the FAA was delayed this
year in issuing our COA, please get your Class 3 package together ASAP
and I will have it submitted (I already have mine approved from last
year so if you have questions or need an example, email me off chat).

The club DOES not plan to bring launch equipment to the event this year;
it's strictly bring your own gear (like BALLS). However, if there are
people willing to haul equipment, we can arrange for 1-2 pads and I am
sure you can bargain with people for use of their gear.

We will arrange for Portapotties and there will be a few areas to hang
out
(our Blackrock Lounge as usually done at BALLS).

Launch fees: $25 for the entire weekend!

We can discuss more at the June launch, but now is your chance
to get some good rocket flying in (next 6 weeks will be pure Rocket fun)!

I'll get the website updated in a bit. But now can I see a show of hands
for who's going?

Thank you!
-James
President, TCC
