Here's a link to the Google map pointing to the entrance gate. From that point on there will be signs to guide you through the field. We did not want to post the exact field spot, given most GPS devices will guide you to the wrong entrance gate.

Fail
(Recovery) |
-- |
Crash; shock cord failure. Wing repair & airframe rebuild. Flight showed good stability, but an uncommanded pitch-up at lower thrust. Flight also proved airframe worthy of high power flight. Last use of elastic shock cord for Condore rockets. |
