Welcome to the very modest website of

The Boeing Employees Model Rocket Club

National Association of Rocketry Section 627


Current Launch Status:

11/13/25 4:25 PM

The  forecast for our November 15th launch date is steadily wet, albeit not with heavy rain.
That said, we are SCRUBBED for weather. Hopefully December will be nice to us.
The stage 1 burn ban has finally been lifted, so we can
finally return to normal operations when we fly again.




REMINDER: At the May launch two rockets and one nose cone/chute came down in the go-kart track area.
We have been told that we may NOT do this again, or we will lose access to the site.

Consequently, the range will be set up much further north, we will be more restrictive
 on model/motor combinations, and likely be more aggressively angling launch rods northward,
 regardless of forecast or real-time wind conditions
in order to assure no further landings in the go-kart track area.
These precautions seemed to work at the June, July, August and September launches.


 

BEMRC Launch Schedule

BEMRC launches are generally on the second or third Saturday of the month (see dates listed below)

The range typically opens at about 11 AM.

Flights are limited to D total impulse (20 N-s) and approximately 700 foot maximum altitude (or less depending on conditions at launch time) per the NAR Safety Code and in order to keep flights on the field.


We MAY be able to support National Rocketry Competition flights at our regular club launches. I can have an adjustable tower (the Apogee unit) and NAR contest flight cards available. Those flying duration events will need to arrange for timers. Loaner PerfectFlite FireFly or Altus Metrum MicroPeak altimeters can be made available for those flying the Altitude events if arranged for in advance (but see below).

The events for the 2025-2026 NRC season (June 30th through about August 1st, 2026 subject to NARAM-67 dates) are: 


  • 1/2 A PD FAI
  • 1/2 A SD FAI
  • 1/2 A HD FAI
  • A RG FAI
  • C Egg Loft Altitude
  • A Altitude

We might be able to support flying some of these…though as a practical matter perhaps only 1/2A HD FAI and C Eggloft Altitude would have a good chance of staying on the field. The others, not so much. Please let me know a day or two in advance (but see below) if you would like to make an official NRC flight at any of our launches. 
 

However I have NOT, at this time, put any of our 2025 launches on the official calendar for NRC events,
so if you want to fly NRC events, I need to know at least a week in advance so I can submit calendar info to the NAR.
