Scott Kissinger loaded up the big Piledriver that he flew for his Level 3 re-certification flight last year in November. Scott's Piledriver blasted a hole in the hill behind the high power pads with a big M motor that Scott designed.
Scott Kissinger - Piledriver
And while Scott's flight didn't set any altitude records, it did set a record for the farthest recovery as it landed more than a mile from the pad north of the dirt bike trails.
The high power pads looked like this for a better part of Sunday as the winds kept most people in the pits.
Sometimes the best flight is the one we postpone for better conditions.
