Launch Site - Harmon Flying Field

The Harmon Flying Field launch site is located in Aurora, Portage County, Ohio, at 619 Bartlett Road, about one-third mile southeast of Page Road on the north side of Bartlett Road (41°16'46.5"N, 81°19'7.5"W). The range will be set up to the northeast of the oil and gas well tanks near the center of this 140-acre field. Portions of that acreage are tree-covered, but there is a clear recovery area of about 2500' east-to-west by 1000' north-to-south. There are existing homes across Bartlett Road to the south.

Use of this field is shared with the Flying Aces of Aurora radio control aircraft club, but they will not be flying as a group on dates when we are launching.

Rocket launching at this field is permitted only on dates scheduled with the City of Aurora Director of Parks and Recreation. Any person not complying with the NAR Model Rocket Safety Code shall be personally liable to the City of Aurora for the result of their actions.

There is no high-power (Class 2 or higher) rocket waiver for this field. Rockets flown shall be limited to Model Rockets per the NAR Model Rocket Safety Code.

Note that the launch site location described here might not be exactly correct. Please visit the club's web site for additional information including launch dates. Do not launch rockets on your own at this site without verifying with the club to ensure that it is permitted.
