It was a good day to launch, wind was pretty light. There were nine people launching during the time I was there. I can't remember if it was Ben or Nathan but their rocket went off with the launch rod and spun around several times before landing in the taller grass, actually it was pretty cool to see. Mike and Ollie launched several rockets that were all recovered pretty easily. I launched a few rockets with my video camera on board and got some good videos. I wish I knew how to get them on our Facebook page ,they turned out pretty cool. All in all except for the cool weather it was a good day.

Took 2 videos of Ollie lunching our rockets. https://youtu.be/YZ36YOcWvKE https://youtu.be/H-FptjOWrYg I think we made 12 flights, all easy recoveries. 🙂 Mike

Oct. 24 - Barber Field #nogo There's a slight threat of rain for the morning of October 24, but the main reason for canceling is the north wind. North winds completely eliminate the large field advantage at the Barber Field. We learned this in September. We're not sure if we're rescheduling the launch for next Saturday Oct. 31, or not. Stay tuned.

Thanks Bob, thanks for your response. I hope we all can be respectful of each other. Launching rockets and flying planes should be a fun thing to do without any hassles. I truly hope there are not any more conflicts. There are a lot of families that are MTMA members that just want to go to the field and have safe fun without trouble.

Gentlemen of MTMA, If anyone from Flying Aces bothers you at the field please give me a call. 330-322-0866. Have them talk to me. I will straighten it out. I have emailed the Flying Aces members. But I recently found out that many of the members have not received the emails. I believe I have this fixed. So they should get my email I am sending out this week. I am sincerely sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused my fellow MTMA members. Bob Ferrante - Flying Aces President and MTMA member.

I believe the “finer points” are that the field is ours that entire weekend...

A discussion about the" finer points of the use agreement," as well as a couple recent incidents, has already been initiated between the officers of both clubs. No one should be giving you a hard time about flying this weekend - on Saturday, or on Sunday.

The Flying Aces and MTMA made an agreement long ago to alternate weekends. This weekend is MTMA's turn to use the field. There should be no Flying Aces members at the field attempting to use the field this weekend. If the weather is not quite what we like on Saturday, Sunday is automatic. It is the rain date. Please go fly some rockets. It is MTMA's turn to use the field this weekend. -W On Mon, Oct 19, 2020 at 11:52 AM, M Schevey wrote

Hopefully this does not come up...I am asking in the veins of an ounce of prevention, beats a pound of cure... The question I have is: Since "at this point" Saturday looks like 40% chance of rain, and Sunday is clear... Our Saturday Harmon field dates, list Sunday's as rain date. IF IT RAINS Saturday; Can we do our BYOG launch Sunday? Is that a decision that needs to be made by club officers? Does it need to be conveyed to park management, or is it automatic? I could see some Flying Aces / MTMA "on-site discussion" about the finer points of the use agreement....if members of both groups show up there Sunday. Mike

Mike is correct. Two launch announcements went out recently.
If anyone goes to Harmon please keep in mind that the field is "ours" to use according to the NAR safety code. Flying is ONLY for NAR members who are MTMA members. Guests are uninsured and unvetted.
While at Harmon...
