Introduction

ECOF-2005 is a public rocket launch. Everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy the thrill of rocketry with us. We have obtained a 10000' AGL waiver and expect every size of rocket motor, from Micro Maxx to M, to be flown. Bring out your best rockets for this launch!

WOOSH will have Hybrid support at this launch courtesy of SFSM Industries being represented by Jim Russell. We should have our own hybrid Ground support functional as well. Remember WOOSH owns the 38mm. H, I, and J casings from Sky Ripper Systems hybrids. Sky Ripper Systems sells PVC and polypropylene grains for the hybrids. The PVC reloads offer a smoky flight but a bit less impulse. The Poly reloads are higher impulse and give more of the noisy rumble you like to hear from a hybrid. Once we have developed our nitrous fill pricing policy we will publish it in a newsletter article. Nitrous fills are sold per fill. If your igniter fails on the pad you will need to pay for another fill.

ECOF-2005 will have onsite rocketry supplies available courtesy Wildman Rocketry.

We have a Porta-Potty onsite. No more getting into your car to drive to the bathroom. Our new and improved multiple pad launch controller system is ready to go.

Range operations will be broadcast on FM 88.1Mhz. You may want to bring a portable radio or use your car radio to hear what's going on.
