We had one level 1 certification attempt that succeeded – Congratulations to Kevin Boyd flying his Mega Red Max on an H140-10 motor. Mario Panebianco flew his semi-scratch built BSD 5.5” Horizon on a K550 for a spectacular flight with recovery within a few hundred feet of the pad….Nice Flight! Mark Dibois lit things up with his “Fire in the Sky” dual-deploy project flying on a J285 for a great flight and successful recovery. Monica Helms flew her “Sky Net” on a variety of motors and sent up a camera for good measure.

All-in-all it was a great day for flying…if you didn’t mind drinking deet for the gnats!  It’s not bad if you chase it with Gatorade!!!!
