Special Notices:

  1. Set up will begin a little later than normal.  Probably in the 9:00 AM range.  This is being done as per flyer request.  It seems to make things easier on everyone.
  2. We will be setting up the following:
  3. Low Power Pads and controller
  4. H&I pads (2)
  5. J & K pads (2)

The "L" and "M" pads will not be set up, unless requested.   If you are flying a rocket with a motor in the L or M class please request the equipment ahead of time, or be willing to set it up prior to your launch.  We are doing this because these pads were not used at the last launch.   Its really not a problem, L or M flights are always welcome.  

Send all requests to info @ quickburst.net
