THIS SITE IS A PUBLIC SOCCER COMPLEX, OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE CITY OF WOODSTOCK. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS FIELD OTHER THAN AT SCHEDULED EVENTS.
- Kishwaukee Park is a complex of 7 soccer fields, limited technically to G motors or smaller, depending on conditions. It is a fine model rocket launch site!
- High power rockets (HPR) cannot be flown at this site under any conditions.
- Nothing can be staked into the ground due to an underground irrigation system.
- The field is bounded to the east by a bank of trees, and to the west by an impassible swamp. Plan your flights accordingly.
- Pick up any and all trash.
Thanks to John Kohler for arranging for the use of this field.
THIS SITE IS AN ACTIVE, WORKING FARM ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS FIELD OTHER THAN AT SCHEDULED EVENTS.
- Hughes Seed Farm is a large, open field approximately a mile square, easily capable of flying “G” motors and above.
- We have an FAA waiver to launch high power rockets (HPR) up to 6,000 feet above ground level (6,000 AGL).
- We have an 8 foot long 1010 rail and Quad Pad available for HPR models.
- All high power rocket models are subject to a detailed safety inspection prior to launch.
- We support NAR High Power Level 1 and Level 2 certifications at this site.
- The farm is bisected by a gravel road, which can only be used when it is dry and free of water. Otherwise, we park on either Dimmel or Hughes Roads.
- If we use the gravel driveway, park on the grass strip next to the gravel.
- Pick up any and all trash.
- Apologies, but we do not have an HPR motor vendor attending our launches.
