Dear Rocketry Enthusiasts,
Next Sunday the 13th of July is the monthly scheduled launch morning for QRS at the Cedar Grove launch site from 8am weather and launch site dependent. If you are planning a L1 or L2 certification attempt can you please let the committee know in advance.
Low power motors will be available from Endeavour Aerospace. Please contact Matt for stock and pricing.
The high vis bunting will be set up around the power lines and we politely ask people not to venture into the areas barricaded by the bunting during the launch event. Energex also request that we don't have people around the cars during the launches due to the risk of earth currents if one of the conductors was brought down.
Over the past couple of months we have noticed an increase in fire ants in the area. We are regularly baiting the nests and keeping Logan City Council abreast of the nests that we find. Please be aware that there are fire ants in the area when walking around the site.
And finally, Carl and Georgia who run the farm on the opposite side of Cedar Grove Rd have kindly offered to house the QRS trailer. They have a farm shop (honesty box) just up the road and sell honey (hives are local), eggs and daffodils.
Cheers.
Simon.

Dear Rocketry Enthusiasts,
We had what could be described as the most awesome flight conditions on Sunday. Clear blue skies and low winds. Some battery issues with the A pad controller but this was all sorted reasonably quickly. Some mixed results using the hybrid rocket motors.
A total of 27 entertaining launches with a lot of activity on both A and B pads. 1 x A / 5 x B / 4 x C / 4 x D / 3 x E / 3 x F / 3 x G / 3 x H / 1 x J.
Congratulations to Kieran on his successful L2 certification flight.
Congratulations to Peter on his successful L1 certification flight.
See you all next months.
Cheers.
Simon.
