As if this thing weren't big enough.... John is working on a bigger one.
A trailer for the cart might be necessary to haul it out to the pads.
Flyers: 15
Flights: 52
It required a few igniter replacements, but the big lander finally took off on an H-123.

One might object to the piles of bins that Ken Allen of Performance Hobbies brings to our launches..... except that they are all filled with goodies that keep us flying.
As always, Thanks Ken!

Thanks go out to Dan Heinlen, Todd Harrison and all of the other photographers who provided the great shots for the reports.
And also to Joe Pscolka who not only serves as President of TRIPOLI Pittsburgh but also hauls all of our equipment and loads of other things. Without Joe, our launches would not be the same, if at all.
And thanks to all of the members who turn out and fly as you are what make TRIPOLI Pittsburgh work!
