Rocket Day in Rineyville Kentucky

Once a year, children and adults who act like children gather to launch rockets of every imaginable size. From tiny 1/2A squeakers to mighty G-motor behemoths, we fly sport rockets, scale models, experimental creations, and a few old veterans that probably should have been retired years ago.

Some flights are spectacular. Some are educational. And some demonstrate why we maintain a respectable distance from the launch pads.

What to Expect

• Rockets: Everything from 1/2A motors to G-powered monsters.
• Launch equipment: We have launchers and controllers for a wide variety of rockets.
• Arrival: Around 11:00 AM for setup and preparation.
• First launch: Approximately noon, assuming everything cooperates.
• Food: Bring your own eats. Some drinks will be available.
• Weather: Launch activities are subject to safe weather conditions.

Radio-Controlled Rockets? Absolutely.

As if conventional model rockets weren’t enough, we also launch radio-controlled rocket gliders.

Special thanks to Dynasoar Rocketry for introducing us to yet another expensive and thoroughly entertaining obsession.

Want to Participate?

New participants are welcome! Just contact us before the event, bring a rocket (or several), and prepare for an afternoon of smoke, noise, and the occasional surprise.

We provide launch equipment, experienced rocketeers, and an impressive collection of stories about things that didn’t go quite as planned.

All launches must follow the applicable model rocketry safety code, motor limitations, and launch director instructions. We prefer our excitement intentional and our spectators intact.

Experience Counts. Usually.

We’ve been doing this for years and have pretty much thought of everything.

Well, almost everything.

Eric, we’re still sorry about that enormous tear in your Easy-Up canopy.

Signed, your loving brother, Rocket Rain Man.
