Hanna II is Cancelled

Sad news... we are canceling Hanna II this weekend (April 19th and April 20th). David Buhler our HPR director spoke with the Youngstown Fire Chief who indicated it was unlikely they would lift the special areas 2 fire ban this weekend even if there were rain on Friday. They have had moisture in the area this week already but are still dealing with grass fires. Welcome to the Calgary Rocketry Association's Hanna HPR web site. With the successful launch at Hanna in 2006, the Calgary Rocketry Association is returning to the region to bolster our launch capability, and further gain the respect and admiration of the local community. This launch location is a couple kilometers west of Spondin Alberta... it complements the regular ERC and LRA launches by providing a geographically centralized site for the three clubs and for members from any other club that wish to attend. The CRA is itching to get out to this launch, especially in view of the cancellation of last year's Hanna launch and our Sullivan Lake event. Its a good thing we had Fire and Ice, Roc Lake, and Fall Fire to keep our interests up. As this launch is still introducing HPR to landowners and residents mostly unfamiliar with amateur rocketry, we want to put on a good show. To that end, let´s keep our rockets on the mild side, targetting flights to no more than 10,000 feet. If a higher altitude is desired, we can consider the weather conditions before letting the rocket go out to the pad. Single stage mostly tried and proven birds with "normal" flight characteristics are the order for the day. As well, bring along a low or mid-powered rocket to display a level of rocketry that is within reach of aspiring rocketeers. Be sure to bring your current CAR and TRA membership cards for registration.
