It was one of those weekends in July. Maybe it was the heat. Maybe it was just July.
Rockets blew up. Ejection charges went off at the pads. Rockets hung up in the trees. Dogs barked.
It was HOT and it was July.
Expect more heat as August is on the way.
Current George Pike numbers:
As of August 1, 2025
In July two student fliers posted altitudes for the Mile High Club.
Kaylie Shelton at 3,500'
Patrick Kaczmarek 5,350'
While both are TRIPOLI members, neither is a member of TRIPOLI Pittsburgh.
As a result, the Mile High Club altitude is currently uncontested.
As always, thanks go to Ken Allen of Performance Hobbies for attending the July launch and bringing us all of the parts and motors and other goodies.
Thanks Ken!
