Freedom Launch 2009
Saturday, Sunday and Monday, September 5, 6, & 7
Orangeburg, South Carolina

Saturday and Sunday will be dedicated to commercial flyers, and we are planning a night launch on Sunday, so that fliers can enjoy eating out on Saturday since many local restaurants are closed on Sunday. Monday is a Tripoli Research day only. The entire event is under Tripoli rules.

Range Setup is planned for Friday evening at 6:00 PM.

A V-2 Mass Launch is planned for Monday from 11:00 to 12:00, we will fly the Low Power, then Mid Power, then High Power, and then the Away Cell. All recovery will await the completion of all the V-2 Flights.Due to the combined Impulse of Matt Butler's Big 20-foot V-2, observers will need to retreat from the flight line to one Pivot Wheel Track to the North before the Big V-2 is launched.

Please volunteer and sign up for a 2 hour shifts as RSO and LCO (must be level two or above), and all others are open to help with range set-up and take-down. You will earn a Freedom Launch Crew T-Shirt for working two or more 2-hour shifts or for working range set-up or range take-down, one Crew Shirt per person.
