The PARA flight field is
located at Hallowell farm, approximately 9 miles north of
Doylestown PA on Route 611. The entrance to the farm is just
north of the intersection of Route 611 and Route 113. Enter
here and follow the road to the right, around the barn. Once
around the barn, follow the path around the wood pile.
(Sometimes you can take the route through the wood
pile, but watch for mud!) The road (unpaved) will bear to
the right. After a few hundred feet you will be able to see
where we are set up. If the corn is high, it may appear
there is no launch in progress till you encounter the launch
area.
The address of the property is
7554
Easton Road, Ottsville, PA 18942.
Please drive only on the
farm roads. DO NOT drive on anything green unless directed
to. |
We will be launching in a corn field.
As it gets later in the growing season you may want to put a
beeper on your rockets to help find them in the higher
crops. It's probably a good idea to wear rugged shoes or
boots and long pants. There are no rest room facilities on
the property but there are plenty of trees, so plan ahead!
Anything you may need you'll have to bring with you,
including water.
SAFETY IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE !!
You will be provided with flight cards which must be filled
out before each flight to help us record the days launches.
If you would like to save some time at the launch, you can
download the flight cards as a PDF file. This will help us
with preflight inspections, maintaining as high a level of
safety as possible for you. All rockets must undergo a
safety inspection prior to being loaded on the launch pad.
If your launch card is not signed off by the RSO, the LCO
will not launch it. |
