I will be holding at least semi annual launches from a location in Northwest Iowa. These launches are open to both experimental and commercial fliers, there is no event fee to fly but we will "pass a hat" this year asking for donations to offset some the cost, which is mainly just the cost of renting a port-a-pot for the launch. Everyone is welcome to fly or be a spectator, if you want to fly check out the IARG safety code, if you have questions, use my contact page to get in touch with me.
The waiver altitude will be 25,000' MSL (23,500' AGL) from 10:00 AM to noon and 11,500' MSL (10,000' AGL) from noon to 5:00 PM on Saturday. Sunday will be 25,000' MSL from 10:00 AM to noon and 11,500 MSL from noon to 5:00 PM.
Here's a map of Paullina with my property marked. From highway 10 take North Willow Street south for one block, turn west on West Commerce Street, it will be a gravel road at the intersection of West Commerce and North Willow. Note: West Commerce Street ends as a paved road and turns to a rustic gravel road, follow the gravel road around the curve and it dead ends on my property.
This Google Earth image shows the Paullina Launch site and surrounding area.
Here's a closer image of the area. The launch site will be accessed from 490th Street. From Highway 10 (460th Street) go South on Olive Avenue for 3 miles. Turn East (left) on 490 th Street for 1/4 mile. The first farm acreage on the South (right) side of the road will be our base of operations.
