      • Dress for the weather (fields may be muddy – maybe bring an extra pair of shoes & socks for the ride home)
    • All of the Rocket Launchers need to be tested to make sure they work.
      • They will need new batteries.
      • Some of the metal rings at the bottom may need to be replaced (some have holes in them and the plastic stands will get burned when the rocket engines fire).
    • Need to make sure we get a key to the gate at the Boeing RC Field, or get someone to meet us there at 10:30 AM to let us in.
