We’re starting another new season in Amesbury!! Our 22 April launch is on the schedule. We will continue to park at the launch site. This means you can drive out the path to the field and park your car perpendicular to the roadway just far enough onto the grass to clear the path. We can use...

It's time to finish out the 2021 flying season. We'll have our normal launch from ten to about four, then breakdown and pack up all the gear and set up a small set of pads by the road to do our night launch. Please read the information we have published about the COVID-19 rules and restrictions...

For those of you who were on the club Zoom call this past Tuesday, there was talk of moving the launch to Sunday due to poor conditions on Saturday. Well, conditions have improved for Saturday so we'll stick to our originally scheduled date of the 23rd. The wind should be blowing from the west...

Our launch scheduled for 09 October will be somewhat subdued. The wind is predicted to be blowing at a moderate speed from the east the whole time we will be on the field. This means no high-power launches. Also, any mid-and low-power flights must be kept under 1000-ft altitude. As far as I...

It's time to wrap up the 2020 flying season, such as it's been. We'll have our normal launch from noon to four, then breakdown and pack up all the gear and set up a small set of pads to do our night launch. Please read the information we have published about the COVID-19 rules and restrictions...

Our 19 September launch was quite a success and seemed to run smoothly. Let's make the October launch go just as well. Please read the information we have published about the COVID-19 rules and restrictions, fill in, print out, sign and bring your tracing form with you to the launch. Without the...

As has been the case for most of our launches this year, the soccer crowd won't be using the field (and who would have road race this time of year) so there should be plenty of easy parking. It would be great if we could have someone volunteer their car/van/SUV for shuttle use. Volunteers for...

Our next scheduled launch is on the 2nd of November at the Woodsom Farm field in Amesbury. Keep an eye on the club website for any updates about the weather and flight date. We'll have a big scout group from Melrose joining us. It would be great if we could have someone volunteer their...

Our next scheduled launch is on the 5th of October at the Woodsom Farm field in Amesbury. Keep an eye on the club website for any updates about the weather and flight date. The soccer crowd won't be using the field so there should be plenty of easy parking. It would be great if we could have...

*** UPDATE *** The launch is being postponed to Sunday the 15th. We'll have better weather conditions on that day. Please see the post below. Our next scheduled launch is on the 14th of September at the Woodsom Farm field in Amesbury. Keep an eye on the club website for any updates about the...

Our first club launch in Amesbury for 2019 will be on 28 April. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities still available to help things move along smoothly. We'll start set up around 9:30 and start flying about 10:30 or sooner (depending on how many help set up). As of this posting, I'm not...

The Central Massachusetts Spacemodeling Society will be hosting three special launches to give TARC teams a chance to do practice or qualifying flights or to hone their skills ahead of the deadline for submitting your scores. The dates are: 23 February 23 March and 06 April. The launches will...

Our final launch of the season was scheduled for this Saturday, the 17th of November but is being postponed until some date in the future. When we reschedule, we’ll start set up about 9:30 in the morning and fly as soon as we can. More hands helping will get us going sooner. The soccer crowd...

Our next scheduled launch is on the 3rd 4th of November at the Woodsom Farm field in Amesbury. Let's hope for weather conditions that will allow some HPR flying. The soccer crowd won't be using the field so there should be plenty of easy parking. It would be great if we could have someone...

Our next scheduled launch is on the 6th of October at the Woodsom Farm field in Amesbury. The weather forecast looks good five days out so let hope that holds up; the only problem is the predicted wind direction - right toward the wires, which would limit or eliminate HPR. The soccer crowd...

It's that wonderful time of year again - the Fliskits Anniversary Launch. But it's also a melancholy event; Fliskits will be closing by the end of the year so this will be the last Fliskits Anniversary Launch. The festivities will include prize drawings, awards for most Fliskits launched and...
